Converging global trends (digitization, globalization, datafication) have influenced all aspects of children's literacies, including children's picturebooks. The recent turn towards embodied, affective and sensory literacies, stimulated our interest in multisensory picturebooks that engage all children's senses, including the sense of smell (olfaction). Olfactory children's picturebooks demand new forms of literary conversations, which capitalise on unique properties of odours and integrate these with stories. Drawing on a systematic search of children's picturebooks about, and with, smell, in paper-based and digital formats, we identified three principal ways in which olfaction is currently embedded in children's picturebooks: 1, as an add-on to depiction of objects (including foods, plants) and places, 2, as a device to introduce humour into a story, and 3, as an engagement tool for children's active participation in the story. We mobilise Sipe's (2008) concept of seven constituting elements in children's picturebooks to describe how current olfactory picturebooks apply the elements in their design and make recommendations for future development of children's olfactory picturebooks. Reflecting on the generative potential of literary theories and olfactory power to stimulate children's non-linguistic embodied interactions with picturebooks, we propose some extensions to the current olfactory picturebook landscape.
全球趋同的趋势（数字化、全球化、数据化）已经影响了儿童读写能力的各个方面，包括儿童图画书。最近对具身、情感和感官读写能力的转向，激发了我们对能调动儿童所有感官（包括嗅觉）的多感官图画书的兴趣。嗅觉儿童图画书需要新形式的文学对话，这种对话要利用气味的独特属性，并将其与故事相结合。通过系统搜索纸质和数字形式的、关于嗅觉以及包含嗅觉元素的儿童图画书，我们确定了目前嗅觉在儿童图画书中呈现的三种主要方式：1. 作为对物体（包括食物、植物）和地点描述的补充；2. 作为给故事引入幽默的手段；3. 作为促使儿童积极参与故事的工具。我们运用西普（2008年）提出的儿童图画书七个构成元素的概念，来描述当前嗅觉图画书在设计中如何运用这些元素，并对儿童嗅觉图画书的未来发展提出建议。通过思考文学理论的生成潜力和嗅觉力量对激发儿童与图画书进行非语言的具身互动的作用，我们对当前嗅觉图画书的格局提出了一些拓展建议。
