32 pp. | Magination | August, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781433842207 $18.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Katarina Gasko. In this nonfiction book, a bespectacled child with short curly hair experiences the five senses and learns how they relate to perception. The authors explain in straightforward language how the brain receives and interprets messages from other parts of the body, and kid-friendly illustrations show the connections between the nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain. Activities related to the senses are appended along with an author’s note that sheds light on senses beyond the five basic ones.
