Get ready for the next generation of children’s literature. Mo’s Nose, an upcoming series of high-tech (well, high-tech for kids’ lit, anyway) books written by Margaret Hyde, is based on a real-life rescue dog of the same name. The first in this line of books is Mo Smells Red: The idea is that since dogs can’t see colors like people do, this book hopes to illuminate how our canine friends understand colors through smell. Each page contains the new Press-2-Smell Technology, in which hidden, nontoxic, scented packets allow kids to delight in Mo’s exciting discovery of strawberries, roses and much more. It’s like scratch-’n’-sniff for the digital age. Join Hyde at Barnes and Noble as she introduces this new line of fun, informative and sure-to-be successful books.
