But.this is a book about the 5 senses, aimed at very young children who are just learning about their bodies and the world around them.

I saw a review that criticized this book for not having a lot of content, and being repetitive. Younger children will be able to relate as they are beginning to learn about all of their senses. The boy in this book looks very young, around that age. I would recommend this book to young children, probably the preschool age. I can see myself using the pictures and having the children guess what sense they would use to figure out what it is. I like the pictures a lot, and that is what will probably carry most with me. The book then walks through everyday activities and how we use our senses throughout the day. The book walks through the senses, what they do, how they work and what part of the body uses them. The pictures are very detailed and focus on each sense appropriately. He is very young, and I would say preschool age and learning about his five senses. The book walks through the five senses with children, through the eyes of a little boy.

These words really resonated with me, and helped me connect with this book. These are the first words I read on the inside from cover and I could not agree with him more. "A world of a child is a world of discovery" is a direct quote from the author of this book, Aliki.
