Book Summary

Smelly Clyde is about a dog named Clyde who loves the smell of manure. One day he runs to Farmer Brown's farm and rolls and rolls in the manure of different animals. When Clyde goes home at the end of the day, he sniffs another odor, one he doesn't like. It's soap! Whimsical illustrations support the text.
