Bookroo's summary

Dive into a world where kids learn why they can't hear with their eyes or taste with their ears. Through playful experiments like 'Hold Your Nose' and 'Stick Out Your Tongue,' discover how each sense uniquely helps us navigate life. Why is a tongue perfect for pickle tasting? Uncover the mysteries of your senses and the surprising ways they shape your daily experiences. This engaging journey invites young readers to explore their bodies and the wonders of sensory perception.

From the publisher

Why can’t you hear a siren with your eyes? Spot an airplane with your hands? And how come a pickle on your ear isn’t delicious? In You Can’t Take a Pickle with Your Ear kids discover how each of their five senses is hard at work all day long, providing them with information and helping them get the most out of their daily lives. Whenever you think, I’m oh-so-sweet, Pull off your socks and smell your feet! Sections such as Hold Your Nose and Stick Out Your Tongue (not the same time!) encourage hands-on investigations of what’s happening inside kids’ bodies and why a tongue is best for pickle tasting.
