Scratch and Sniff New York City – One Week Left
I have been enjoying watching the progress of this kid’s book make its way through Kickstarter. Written by Amber Jones, an award-winning concierge who knows a thing or two about how to show visitors the best sights – and smells – of NYC. Her scratch-and-sniff tour of NYC includes many of the smells that are all too familiar: Garbage, Pizza, Hot dogs, Sewer steam, Fish, Horse Manure, Shish-kabobs, Smoke, Bagels and more.
As a Kickstarter backer, I was given access to some preview pages and can share them with you. Jones has covered all the key New York points – from the depths of the subway to a sidewalk cafe in Little Italy. The book is a feast for the eyes and will certainly be for the nose – IF it makes its funding. Jones is still $3,200 shy of her goal of $20,000 to fund the first print run with only a week to go.
Tim Probert’s illustrations are great on the eyes. I hope we all get to smell them.
Hopefully, she’ll get another last round of momentum. This is a fun book that I hope gets a chance to see the light of day and the dark of kid’s nostrils!
