* “Isadora’s book about the five senses is aimed perfectly at another sense—kids’ sense of humor.”—The Horn Book, starred reviewCaldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora’s sweet and simple introduction to the five senses is perfect for the youngest children, who will recognize themselves in charming vignettes portraying a wide range of childhood activities. Hearing, smelling, seeing, touching, tasting--our five senses allow us to experience the world in so many ways! With our ears we hear the birds sing; with our nose we smell the stinky cheese; with our eyes we see the moon and stars (and sometimes glasses help us see even better!); with our skin we feel the rain (and learn not to touch the hot stove!); and with our tongue we can taste our favorite foods. Isadora’s lively art reveals the power and delight of each sense.

Summary: Each sense gets its own special section, in which adorable preschoolers hear, smell, see, touch, and taste, and sometimes react to their experiences. Example: “I hear the birdie. I hear the bee. Uh-oh! I don’t hear the worm.” Each section has 15-20 experiences, so kids will definitely get the idea of what that sense is all about. The pickle ties it all together on the last page, as it is seen, smelled, touched, tasted, and heard…crunch! 32 pages; ages 2-6.Pros: A gently humorous introduction to the senses. The multicultural cast of kids is a cute and curious bunch, enthusiastically exploring the world around them.Cons: Adult readers could tire of the repetitious text if this becomes a favorite book.

This book and its illustrations are charming and my toddler loves it. As an introduction to the five senses it's educational, and I particularly like the unexpected examples--like "I don't hear the worm," "I don't smell--I have a cold," and "I touched the egg" (with an egg broken on the floor!). It's been fun talking with my son about why you don't hear a worm and don't see a flower grow, why you can see when the lamp is on but not when it's off, why the girl can't see the words in her book until she puts on her glasses.For myself, I appreciate the quality and liveliness of the illustrations, and the diversity of children represented. We've had the book from the library for about a week and having read it aloud at least 20 times, I'm not tired of it. This is also a book a child can "learn" the text of and enjoy paging through by himself, recalling what's said about the different images. I plan to give a copy as a gift to friends--I think it's a wonderful addition to any toddler's library.

i had to write this review because this has become my favorite children's book and I had to share my new, favorite book! I think this is the perfect book because it combines visual as well as mental stimulation for kids. I teach first grade and I never had such a reaction to a book before. Everyone wanted to say something while I was reading aloud to the class, complete participation. I have read the book everyday to my students for 2 weeks and the enthusiasm continues! Thank you for this great book!

My 3 year old loved it. Great illustration and simple phrases little ones can understand and enjoy. We read it at bedtime but will read again.

Loved this book, it's so cute.
