My mother saved this book for me (well the version before the 2003 reissue), rescuing it from our dark, dreary family basement. It is a book that I read when I was little. Now, it is part of my collection of holiday books. I believe it was given to my older sister originally. It has pen and ink scribbles on it and a page seems to be missing, but the beauty of it remains - the comforting scenes of Little Bear preparing for Christmas with his family. The scent has long since faded from the fragran...more
This was my favorite Christmas book as a kid and was so excited when it was republished a few years back. Now I love reading it with my kids. However, the printing quality must not be as good as the scents in the book have never worked very well. I have had to improvise (ie. cutting slits in an orange peel and rubbing it on the orange page, etc.)
A book that welcomes the sweet nostalgia of the scents that are usually present at Christmas-time. My complaint about owning the book is that the scents for scratch and sniff are long gone (while a different book I've owned since I was a kid still has its scents).
OMG! I love that you can find ANY book on here - even scratch-and-sniff children's books! Anyways, this one is a personal favorite of mine that I read as a child and still read every Christmas.
This book was given to me when I was 4, by my parents and I adored it throughout my youth. Still have the original book they gave me and I bought one for my son when he was 4-still have his as well.
I still read this book at Christmas. And even though it is about 35+ years old, some of the scents still smell. The hot chocolate is my favorite scent in the book.
One of my very favorite books as a child, and happily, one of my daughter's as well. She never seems to get tired of this one. Maybe it's the scratch 'n' sniff factor.
My all time favorite Christmas book from my childhood. My hubby bought me a new copy and gave it to me today as an early Christmas gift :)
A fun Christmas story with scratch and sniff stickers. My younger sister and I liked it so much that we scratched away all the smell.
Loved it as a kid and my 3 yr. old has wanted to read it every night since the Christmas books came out of the box.
I have had this book since 1985 and all the scratch and sniff stickers still have smell.
Pure nostalgia for me, Mimi immediately figured out the scratch and sniff.
Remember reading this as a kid! Micah's first scratch-n-sniff book! :-)
My daughter absolutely loved this book when she was little.
This was one of my favorite Christmas books as a child.
My favorite part was when Bear smelled the hot cocoa.
This was one of my favorite Christmas books as a child.

This is my all-time favorite children's book. I had this book growing up and have very fond memories of it. When they re-released it a few years back, I bought it for every young child I know.

Kids like to sniff things...especially sweet things that have to do with Christmas! A very sweet book for young children. My son read it over and over and over again.
I read this one when I was little, and bought it for Maddy - she loves it too! She pretty much has it memorized!
