My Five Senses by Aliki

Book Genre: Nonfiction
Publishing Info: HarperFestival; 32 pages
Awards received: none

Summary: The book describes each of the five senses. For each of the senses it describes how you use it. For example you use your sense of taste to eat an ice cream cone. At the end of the book it discusses how you might use more than one sense at the same time.

Personal rating: ****Great! The is a wonderful story line with excellent pictures for the K-2 level. With the use of the pictures it really helps younger readers understand the five senses!

Reading level: 2.0
Interest level: K-2

Possible uses of the text:
Science/Art: Make a booklet for each student. The cover should be: My Five Senses. On page one -Christmas smells like Christmas trees. Put a Christmas tree on the page for the students to decorate and put a piece of real tree or spray the page with the scent. On the next page put-Christmas tastes like candy canes and attach a candy cane. Do each of the senses to finish the book. When the students can read it independently they can take it home to share with their family. This could also be used during anytime of the year such as springtime!

Potential Problems: allow several day to complete the science/art project
