What are your senses? What are they good for? Well you have five of them: touch, taste, sight, hear, and smell.  With these you can tell things about things.  Your brain takes in messages about these things and sorts through all the infromation to tell you what is going on around you.  When you look at something, you see it because light sent massages to your brain.  Sound travels though the air and into your ear and to your brain and it tells you what sound it is.  You need to take care of your eyes and ears so you dont lose the wonderful gift you have to see things and hear them.  Your tongue has many taste buds and different parts of the tongue taste different things.  That message is sent to your brain and you then know what you are tasting:  Bitter, soure, salt, or sweet.  When you smell things the air moves around  in your nose.  The message is sent to your brain to tell you what you are smelling.  Touching works the same as the others, you touch something and the skin sends a mesage to the brain.  With the senses not everything is good, they help you also feel pain.  If something it sharp or hot, your senses will tell you.  Keep your body healthy and also find out the other things that your body can do, and how they help you like your senses do, like your reflexes, balence and also learning new skills. 

I would recomend this book to any child.  It is intersting to learn about how things work. 

I did not find anything wrong with this book.

I enjoyed this book.
