Mo Smells the Ballpark
written by Margaret Hyde with Nichelle Robinson
illustrated by Aman Chaudhary
It’s Bark in the Park day at the baseball stadium! Mo, Jasper, Molly, and Lucky are excited to be at the stadium to watch the game. Mo gets busy right away, smelling the peanuts, hot dogs, cotton candy, and more as they make their way down to the field for the doggie parade. But when Lucky dashes onto the field in pursuit of a ball, Mo chases him and becomes wrapped up in a daydream of Team Mo vs. the Big Dog team. Mo and his friends must learn about teamwork, good sportsmanship, and having fun no matter if you win or lose as they face off against a pinched-face pug pitcher.
From the creator of the Mo’s Nose books and merchandise, Mo Smells the Ballpark is a fun read for kids of all ages. Margaret Hyde’s charming and empowering text comes to life with illustrator Aman Chaudhary’s sophisticated illustrations, and together they paint a fun and adventurous day at the ballpark. Licensed by Major League Baseball and with a sheet of scented stickers inside, this is a truly scent-sational addition to any child’s library.

About Mo's Nose
The inspiration for Mo's Nose™ struck Margaret Hyde in the middle of the night as her best friend’s rescued dog, Mo, lept into her imagination. She awoke and wrote the idea and text for Mo's scent-filled adventure. Margaret called on Mo's mama, and her best friend of twenty years, artist Amanda Giacomini to illustrate, and together they brought the vision of the series to life. Because Margaret and Amanda's creative collaboration grew from their friendship and their love of animals, they are committed to using the Mo's Nose™ brand as a way to make the world a better place for all four legged creatures and their humans. From their innovative Friends of Mo philanthropic events to their sustainable product line to storylines that celebrate life and giving, Mo's Nose™ aims to entertain and excite the senses while inspiring a shift of consciousness focused on caring for others, charitable actions and grassroots generosity. To put it simply, Mo smells love.

Our Thoughts
Mo Smells the Ballpark is a cute story about Mo, the rescued dog, and his scentsational adventures at the ballpark - greeting the baseball players, chasing his doggy friend Lucky, and howling along while the crowd sings. Mo even plays baseball in his own doggy daydream!
My son loves his books, and I love dogs so the Mo's Nose series definitely appealed to us! When I first showed Mo Smells the Ballpark to my son, I didn't have to read it just once - he wanted me to read it 3 times in a row, right away! He's been reading it all weekend, LOL, so the book is already showing signs of his fancy.
There are scented stickers at the back of the book - I remember being a big fan of scented stickers as a kid, so of course I had to scratch 'n' sniff to test them out! They do all seem to have the same scent and some have a stronger scent than others.
Scented stickers are always fun for kids! Mo Smells Shopping, your online source for Mo's Nose clothing, petwear, & accessories, has some super cute baby & toddler shirts I'd love to have for my son! Even though we don't have an infant in the house, this one is my favorite:
Overall, a great book series for children with colorful illustrations to keep them visually interested! Having a child on the ASD spectrum, I appreciate that a portion of the proceeds are donated to Autism Speaks. All the books in the series are 100% eco-friendly, printed with soy based inks.
