Sniff out the joys of spring with a child and her devoted hound dog.
SPRING SCENTHOUND is a lyrical picture book that expresses the powerful bond between a nature-loving kid and her scent-centric dog. They both know “there’s spring outside…” and set out to find it together. But their bond is tested when their explorations separate them and daylight begins slipping away. This is a joyful romp through the woods that dog and nature lovers will adore.
