'Olfaction in Early Childhood Research and Practice shows concretely, intellectually, and pedagogically how crucial senses, particularly smell, are for reading and humanising reading processes. This is a highly original book which is the first of its kind to open up new landscapes and perspectives on the nature and properties of olfactory reading. Sensory reading patterns have been overlooked for far too long and Professor Ingebretsen Kucirkova redresses this research gap with this important book.'

'This book is for those who seek to honour the full sensorium in education and in research. It demonstrates how the enigmatic sense of smell, or olfaction, is one of the less understood sensory modalities, yet is vitally connected to memories, emotions, and other perceptual functions in childhood development and experience.
