Summary:
"How do we experience the world? Let's learn all about the five senses! The sense of touch is one of our five senses. And it is amazing! Every day it starts working the very same moment we wake. It tells us that our pillow feels soft, the floor is hard, the shower is hot, and the juice is cold. Touch also tells us that tickling feels good and bumping into something feels bad. Learn about feeling, how it works, and common problems and diseases connected with it with this perfect first introduction to the sense of touch! ABOUT THE SERIES: The human body is amazing! It gives us five different ways to learn about the world around us: through the eyes, through the skin, through the tongue, through the ears, and through the nose. Thanks to these parts of our bodies, we can see, feel, taste, hear, and smell. These are the five senses! Why do bananas taste so good? Why does tickling cause so much laughter? Illustrated with familiar examples, this fun nonfiction set in the Learn About series gives readers a close-up look at the five senses, and it teaches them how each of the senses work"-- Provided by publisher.
