Reviews

[Elizabethe · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book surprised me. A fairly low-key, list of sounds (bells ringing, children singing, etc) with reasonably cute illustrations, ended with a final page with a great, accurate, easy to understand explanation of how we hear with a great illustration. I will definitely be checking out the other books in this series on the five senses. Perfect for pre-K through first grade. I read this with my K and first grade kids.
