What we are reading now: What Your Nose Shows by Ray Comforts

The other day me and the kids where talking about bookstores and libraries. How I am fascinated with cook books, drawing books (my frustration), anything vintage, books about Audrey Hepburn and anything about jewelries. 

Last Wednesday I asked Jon to bring us to Megamall so I can bring the kids to National bookstore. when we got to National it was too crowded. We then went to the book sale. It's the nearest book store that is not packed. Then we found this book. 
The book is about our nose, it's use and funny illustration on why we have it. It's suitable for Sam since his learning more about the parts of his face. But really....
The real reason why I bought this book is because of it's "SMELL-I-VISION" feature. 
It was my first time to actually see a book with feature (of course I have seen those US magazine with free perfume samples), but not in a children's book. 
We got curious when we saw this and it was just sold for 65.00. So we bought it. 

When we got home we were all excited to check out the "smell-I-vision" feature. 
Most of the pages have this hidden nose symbol, which you will scratch lightly and smell. 

Sam excited to test the smell-I-vision. 


This one really smells like a baby powder. We were super happy that it was at the powder and not on the diaper. Hahaha! 

This one smells like a leather. Sam was not to happy with the smell. Hahaha

This one smells like the sea. Pretty cool! 


While this smells like lavender. So relaxing. 

After the book sale trip. Kuya remembered how we use to walk from West Ave to National bookstore In Quezon Ave with my nephew Carlos and my niece Ysabel. It was our bonding time when they come to visit me. We would walk inside West Triangle, passed by the presidents house at Times st. And then go to the church and say our prayers. Head to the park to play. Then off we go to the bookstore where I would give them 100.00 pesos to buy whatever they want to buy. Sometimes food, sometimes books or stickers. It was a fun day for us. we get to discover things like insects, weird plants or sometimes new food at the grocery. It was extra fun for me cause I would laugh when they start to say weird things. It was hilarious. I wish Sam and I could do that someday too. 

Oh we'll it's never too late. =) 

Happy reading guys!
