Most kids can name the five senses: smell, sight, touch, hearing, and taste. But do they know how they work? Or what body systems are engaged in taking in and movement of sensing information? This book guides readers through the journey a sensation takes through the body, emphasizing the importance of the nervous system. The main parts of the system are covered in age-appropriate detail and complemented by simple diagrams. "Try This!" boxes engage readers further with the content they are reading through simple activities or questions.
