I have two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two ears, and two hands. How can I use these to experience the world? From enjoying the taste of watermelon to hearing the sound of a fire engine or feeling a rabbit's soft fur, five children explore how their senses work. Margaret Miller's lively photographs capture their discoveries and invite us to share in the fun.

Not to be confused with Aliki's "My Five Senses"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Margaret Miller's book is a simple introduction to the five senses which young children can easily understand and relate to. I use it in teaching the concept of the five senses to my English as a Second Language kindergarten students. Miller presents each sense with the related body parts, which makes it easier for children to understand the sometimes complicated idea of what a "sense" is. For example, "With my eyes, I see..." and then she gives examples. The book is illustrated with Miller's photos of children of different ethnicities, and the items they are seeing, smelling, etc are relevant to most children's experience. My students used this book as a starting point to make their own books about the five senses. As a teacher, I recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to introduce some science content to little ones.
