ReviewedOur senses help us experience the world around us. But how do they work? This series explores the anatomy and physiology behind each of the five senses. Each book discusses relevant information related to each sense and explains how our brain processes sensory information. Each title includes a STEM Take a Look! infographic, sidebars, a glossary, a table of contents, an index, and an activity. Beautiful, crisp, full-color photographs complement the text and aid readers’ comprehension.
A step up from early, image-focused guides to the senses that answers the deeper “how” questions young readers have. Sentences are short and simple with a reliance on scientific diagrams or photographs paired with sidebar facts to breakdown ideas. These texts have a heavy focus on anatomy, and readers can rely on the detailed glossary to get the nitty gritty of each highlighted concept. At the start of each title, there is a guide for educators and caregivers explaining how to use the materials with children. VERDICT: Detailed and visually interesting enough to answer the most persistent questions about how the senses work. Easy to incorporate in school and home libraries as boosters for health knowledge.
