It’s Okay To Smell Good

Jason Tharp’s It’s Okay to Smell Good, the follow-up to his hit picture book It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn, introduces the new, hilarious character: Panda Cat, who lives in a world where smelling bad is a good thing!

Panda Cat begins each day by brushing his teeth with garlic toothpaste, combing rotten eggs through his hair, and enjoying a breakfast of spoiled milk and a rotten apple. In Smellville, it’s cool to be stinky.

But when he tries to invent the stinkiest smell ever for the science fair, it backfires―because it smells good. And Panda Cat . . . likes it? How will he tell his friends? Or his hero, Albert Einstink―the scientist behind the theory of stinkativity?

It’s Okay to Smell Good tells kids young and old that you’re free to like what you like, no matter how it smells.

My Review

This book is hilarious! It’s witty and will have the whole family cracking up. I love the message behind the book though – you are allowed to like whatever you like, even if others don’t agree. The puns throughout the book are genius and extremely imaginative. The illustrations are fantastic and extremely detailed. All children around the world will love all the “gross” stuff throughout this book! This is the second book of Jason’s that I’ve had the honor of sharing with you, and honestly I cannot wait to see what he comes up with next!
