Beth Anderson writes a delightful story about an immigrant with an unusual talent and an even more unusual career in “Smelly” Kelly and His Super Senses: How James Kelly’s Nose Saved the New York City Subway published by Calkins Creek. Danger, coupled with an extraordinary amount of exercise, abounds in Kelly’s life. Ms. Anderson describes the NYC subway system of the first half of the 20th century which is ancient history to a child. Illustrator, Jenn Harney, evokes the New York City subway system darkness, smells and noises with bright colors against dark blue and gray backgrounds. Bile colored swirls waft through the pages leading the reader on an interesting path. As always Ms. Anderson includes a collection of facts and primary and secondary sources in the end papers.
