Review :
"This series describes the senses as tools that can help readers learn about the world and protect themselves from danger. How each sense works and examples and variations of the information it provides are presented in short chapters. A concluding activity demonstrates the sense in action. Readers will be drawn into these books by questions in the narrative and a first-person perspective (from Hearing, 'Emotions and sounds are closely connected. What sounds make you happy?'). There are some errors and omissions. In Hearing, some phrasing ('High sounds are produced when sound waves move quickly, ' for example) may cause misunderstandings about the mechanics of sound. Sight does not mention color blindness, though it covers near- and farsightedness, and Smell mistakenly blames the tears caused by onions on their odor. As in the series above, Taste adds umami to the usual four flavors that can be distinguished by humans. Overall, given their simple sentences, colorful layout, full-page photos, and well-chosen diagrams, these books will be useful for reports." --School Library Journal "Bright colors, bold eye-popping text, and energetic photographs will surely grab your students' attention. These books are jam packed with information about the senses. For example, the book on taste covers everything from defining the different tastes your taste buds have and how your brain uses taste sensitivity to tell you whether or not you will like something to how your sense of smell is closely related to your sense of taste. Vivid photographs depicting children and examples of each sense can be found one very page. Special tidbits of information pulled out and featured in boxes are sprinkled throughout the books as well. The books close with a science activity testing the sense covered. For the recommended age level, this series is thorough and a must have for the science collection. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Highly Recommended." --Library Media Connection
