Don’t forget to add books to your Five Senses Unit of study. Here is your list of “e-scent-ial” books for learning about the sense of smell!

Sense of Smell Books

Big Smelly Bear by Britta Teckentrup

Bear does everything he can to avoid taking a bath in this book.  He smells so bad no other animal wants to play with him. However, he has one sweet friend that is willing to help him make the right choice and take a bath!

Whose Nose Is This?: A Look at Beaks, Snouts, and Trunks (Whose Is It?) by Peg Hall

Students love guessing which animals belong to which nose! Animals shown include an elephant, a woodpecker, a platypus, a camel, an anteater, an elephant seal, and a hippopotamus. In addition to looking more closely at noses, this book provides some interesting, age-appropriate facts about each animal. It’s a winner!
