Smelly Kelly’ and His Super Senses
Summary
This podcast features the historical picture book, ‘Smelly Kelly’ and His Super Senses, illustrated by Jenn Harney (Calkins Creek, 2020). A former educator, Beth Anderson is an award-winning author whose titles include “An Inconvenient Alphabet” and “Lizzie Demands a Seat!”, with more on the way.
James “Smelly” Kelly was a man with a powerful nose whose talents proved heroic in the early days of the New York City subway. Armed with his super-sniffer and the tools he invented, he tracked down leaks from the dangerous to the disgusting, from the comical to the bizarre. “Smelly” Kelly not only hunted leaks, but also saved lives—and discovered the truly extraordinary power he had inside.
