Mitzi Tulane, Preschool Detective in What's That Smell?

(3) PS Illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. Mitzi uses clues around the house to figure out what's different on a special Sunday. Through encounters with family members and investigating strange smells, she discovers that it's her fourth birthday! Subtle humor highlights a preschooler's way of thinking and is relatable for both parents and kids without being cloying. Bright, lively illustrations use the space creatively and depict a mixed-race family.
