Science
The sense of taste

This children's book dives into important aspects of world history.

The book Taste describes one of the five senses. Some foods can taste good or bad. Food can tasted salty, sweet, strong, and sometimes like nothing at all. There is a scientific description in the back with a labeled picture of a tongue. This helps the reader understand the different parts of the tongue and what they are used for. I give this book five out of five stars because Maria Rius does a good job of describing what taste is in a simple way with several illustrations. I like how she highlights the vocabulary words such as: tongue, taste buds, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and saliva. I would use this book in a science lesson to introduce the five senses. I think this book is appropriate for K-2 grades.

This book is about eye sight. It talks about the different things we do in day to day life with our eyes. I talks about things we look at, such as real life events, animals, colors, weather, different sizes, books, night and day, etc. It shows the different things we look at and that are present in our lives, and that are relatable for young children, which I see as very beneficial. In the back of the book, it also discusses the different parts of the eye, with a diagram picture and explanation. This is great for kids to see and interact with.

This book shows specific examples of all the things that we can see in everyday life. For example, look at the rainbow. This is informational and gives students specific examples and pictures to understand what sight is.

Summary: This book is written for beginner readers. Although it was very simple, I thought it described taste in an accurate way and provided students with a tangible way to talk about what they tasted. I also felt like this book was a good introduction into teaching about how to use adjectives in writing.
Thoughts: I may not use this book as a teaching tool for all students, but I would like to have this series in my classroom. I think some students would find it very interesting and it is a good level for beginning readers.
Use/Strategy:
- Teach about adjectives
- Senses

It is an information book about tastes. It uses simple words and sentence structures to introduce spicy, sweet, sour and other tastes. It is suitable for early learners to read.

This is a simple informational book meant for young learners and readers. The beginning is composed of simple sentences about the way things smell. For example, the smell of bread or perfume or lavender. The end contains a page of information about how we smell things.

This is a very simple informational book. The beginning is composed of simple sentences about the way things feel to the touch. For example, thorns are sharp and ice is smooth. The end contains a page of information about how the sense of touch works in our bodies.

The majority of this book is simple, one word sentences about the way things taste. For example, sea water is salty and honey is sweet. The ending of the book contains a page of simplified information about the way we taste things, using our tongues!

This book introduces the reader to all different things to smell. There are simple sentence structures and whole page images for readers to use their imagination with. This would be great for young readers, it's part of a series of sense books.
