Illustrated by
Christopher Denise.
In Lucy's opinion, her beloved but grubby doll, Smelly Baby, is pleasantly odiferous. But when Smelly Baby gets lost, a kindly lady returns her to Lucy--freshly washed and, unfortunately, without her special fragrance. Fear not: after a few days of play with Lucy, Smelly Baby is comfortably smelly again. Denise's illustrations create distinctive characters and enhance the story's considerable drama and humor.
