Senses series.
These compelling books discuss everything from the interplay between the featured sense and the brain, to the anatomy of the ears and nose, to how to protect them. "Try this!" sidebars suggest the simplest (and safest) of sense-related experiments. The information-rich captions alongside the crisp color photos compete for attention with the main text, but the facts are interesting throughout. Glos., ind. Review covers these Senses titles: Hearing and Smelling.

Five Senses series.

Hands-on activities and easy experiments combine with scientific and anatomical descriptions to invite kids to explore eyes, sight, and optical illusions. The illustrations, a combination of cartoon, collage, dialogue balloons, and goofy comments and captions, will further engage young readers.

Five Senses series.
Illustrated by
Cynthia C. Lewis.
Cobb's lively style and loads of unusual, easy-to-execute experiments and activities allow kids to appreciate the many ways humans experience touch, as well as our ability to block this sense. The illustrations, a combination of cartoons, dialogue balloons, irreverent captions, and collage, will amuse young readers.

Five Senses series.
Illustrated by
Cynthia C. Lewis.
Lots of hands-on activities and easy experiments invite readers to explore sound, normal human hearing, auditory illusions, and exceptional ears such as those with perfect pitch. Cobb uses questions and second-person address to engage readers with the facts. Kids will laugh at the illustrations: combinations of cartoons, collage, dialogue balloons, and goofy comments and captions.
