WHAT STINKS?(excerpt)

INTRODUCTION

WHAT DO THESE THINGS HAVE IN COMMON?

They STINK! They don't all smell the same way or for the same reason, but they all smell bad--at least to most of us humans.

Why do some plants and animals stink? What is the purpose of a bad smell? Can something that smells nasty to you smell good to another creature? Can something that smells nasty be good for you?

You're about to go on a smelly adventure to find out not only what stinks, but also why. So, hold your nose and keep reading!
