But what's that smell Arfy loves to sniff things out--he's great at it, so he is on the case! He will find the source of this mysterious smell, even if he has to sniff the whole neighbourhood! Tag along with Arfy on his newest adventure--illustrated with panels and speech balloons for a fun intro to comics! Comic Readers are told almost entirely in action-packed dialogue!
