See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Smell No Evil is a 32-page, 1975 Sesame Street scratch-and-sniff storybook.

In the book, the Muppets have painted their new clubhouse, but they want to get rid of the drying paint smell. Bert and Ernie try to cover the smell with roses (delivered by Prince Charming), but that becomes overpowering. Oscar the Grouch brings in sardines, and that's even worse. The Muppets then try to use lemons, pine trees, gingersnaps, and smoke -- and finally, a skunk enters the clubhouse, closing the discussion for good.

Notes

• A Super Grover pinball machine adorns the clubhouse, as well as a poster of "Spidey," a reference to The Electric Company.

• The book's title is a reference to the three wise monkeys proverb.
