No unit on the five senses is complete without exploring books on the topic!  Here is a list of amazing stories that help students learn all about how their bodies work. Be sure to scroll to the bottom to get a printable list of these five senses books. Take it with you to the library and ask the children’s librarian to help you find them!

Books about all Five Senses 

Cold, Crunchy, Colorful: Using our Senses by Jane Brockett

This beautiful book has simple text and photographs to help students grasp what the five senses are, and how to experience the world around them uses those five senses. It is set up with an introductory page explaining one of the senses, followed by pages where examples are given. With simple, clear text, beginning readers will be able to explore the book on their own, but it’s just as good shared in circle time!

Me and My Senses by Joan Sweeney

Part of a wonderful series of books about “Me,” this charmer by Annette Cable follows the main character as she uses her five senses to enjoy a delicious lunch.  The simple text makes this book a good one for emerging readers.

Extending the Learning:  In that chaotic transition before lunch or snack in the classroom, ask students if they can name the different things that they notice using their five senses.

I Hear a Pickle (and Smell, See, Touch, and Taste It, Too!) by Rachel Isadora

This is a wonderful book for a group story time.  One of the more fascinating parts of this book are the ways it shows what children CAN’T sense in some situations…like hearing a worm, for example, or touching a stove, because it’s not allowed.  Rachel Isadora does a fabulous job of including all kinds of children in her examples, even including a child with a peanut allergy that does NOT taste the PB & J.
