출판사 설명
* “Isadora’s book about the five senses is aimed perfectly at another sense—kids’ sense of humor.”—The Horn Book, starred review
Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora’s sweet and simple introduction to the five senses is perfect for the youngest children, who will recognize themselves in charming vignettes portraying a wide range of childhood activities. Hearing, smelling, seeing, touching, tasting--our five senses allow us to experience the world in so many ways! With our ears we hear the birds sing; with our nose we smell the stinky cheese; with our eyes we see the moon and stars (and sometimes glasses help us see even better!); with our skin we feel the rain (and learn not to touch the hot stove!); and with our tongue we can taste our favorite foods. Isadora’s lively art reveals the power and delight of each sense.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As in her earlier books, simplicity is the defining note of Isadora's (Bea at Ballet) inviting introduction to the senses. In five color-coded sections, one for each sense, multicultural kids take turns describing things they hear, smell, see, touch, or taste. Drawing from everyday experiences in a child's life, Isadora pays tribute to the senses, as well as to the natural world, friends, family, food, pets, curiosity, and discovery. "I hear the drums. Too loud!" a boy with a buzz cut tells readers, fingers firmly planted in his ears. "I smell bread. I'm hungry!" says a girl as she climbs onto a stool to get a closer look at the round loaf cooling on the counter. Things the children "don't" experience are just as important, adding cautionary notes (one boy doesn't touch the stove), revealing personal preferences ("I don't want to taste the spinach"), or showing how the world works ("The lamp is off. I don't see!"). Isadora's book brims with teachable moments, yet it's her expressive ink and watercolor vignettes that steal the spotlight. Ages 2 5.
