I don't know about Cherringto. He's got another book in his page (Bear in the Big Blue Whats T), but when I crosscheck the ISBN (9780671825676) through worldcat, the result is Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Other thoughts about "Cherringto"? Anyone?

Cherringto is likely to be Janelle Cherrington as the author of many Bear in the Big Blue House books.The book in question could be a 'scratch & sniff' book called "What's That Smell?".
There are so many differences between the edition listed here that I'm not sure if it should count as an alternate edition or if there was some sort of entry/import error or something else. What do you experts think?
Author: The edition here on GR has a second author, "Cherringto", that apparently has nothing to do with anything.
Edition Copyright: My copyright page says "First Pocket Books printing October, 1969" but GR says April 13, 1969.
Number of pages in my copy: 208. Number of pages on GR: 255.
Description: The description for this English-language edition appears to be in Spanish. Here's an English description from the back cover:
"The old lady had been whisked away from the nursing home, and Tuppence Beresford felt the warning prickling of her thumbs. With her only clue a painting of a house by a canal, Tuppence began her investigation. Then she, too, disappeared!"
And last but not least, here's the cover of my copy, that I scanned myself! http://i.imgur.com/J882h8d.jpg
