Forest Friends' Five Senses

By Cristina Garelli

Book Overview

How do you use your five senses, and what do you do if something goes wrong with them? The forest friends - Hawk, Rabbit, Bear, Skunk, and Squirrel - know, and their stories show children what happens when a sense needs a little help to work better. When Hawk bumps into a mountain, Owl prescribes glasses. When Skunk catches a cold, Owl gives him syrup to help him smell again. And when Squirrel gets a paw full of thorns, Owl pulls them out and Squirrel learns to be more careful about what he touches! Just right for preschoolers, these friendly animals and their entertaining stories teach children about their senses and what to do when they need fixing!
