Making Scents by Arthur Yorinks
2.0
This is the case of a mismatched book and reader.
I'm a dog lover, so I had hopes that I would strongly connect with the animals in the book. Unfortunately, I found that I didn't personally connect with Mickey or his story, and I felt parts of it came across as rushed.
However, I'd still encourage any curious readers to pick this title up. It's a sweet story that explores themes of acceptance and praises a unique character for his talents. The use of color is really lovely in a subtle way, and young readers who love dogs or have experienced loss will likely relate to Mickey.
