Reviews:

From Bookwatch
"A unique resource filled with innovative ways to use ordinary toys and play materials to demonstrate how the senses work in a way that young children can readily understand."

From "NSTA Recommends"
"The more students explore with their senses, the more they become in touch with the world around them and how their senses enable them to interpret it. That premise is deeply evident throughout every aspect of this comprehensive book. This book is a must for any teacher's resource library. Short of supplying the materials and presenting the lesson, it provides all of the ingredients needed for designing and delivering successful learning experiences for young learners."
