K-Gr 4—These books go beyond the basics of showing how children's senses enable them to experience the world. Large-print texts include enough information for primary-grade research. Each book has a clear diagram and fairly complete explanation of the organ that allows humans to use the sense and ways to protect it from injury. Readers learn about blindness, deafness, and anosmia. The author also compares senses in humans to those in animals. Full-color photos appear on every spread. Solid additions to science units.—Sharon R. Pearce, Longfellow Elementary School, Oak Park, IL
