My Five Senses

My Five Senses Synopsis

Read and find out about your five senses in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

Sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch-our five senses teach us about our world. Beloved author-illustrator Aliki's simple, engaging text and colorful artwork show young readers how they use their senses to smell a rose or play with a puppy. 

This is a clear and appealing book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom.

As Children's Books and Their Creators put it: Aliki "treats complex topics clearly and succinctly while providing lively pictures, with informative details and humorous elements often appearing in 'balloons.'" Aliki's books continue to speak to today's young readers.
