Learn About Taste and Smell

Uncover the amazing, interconnected senses that shape how we experience food and the world around us in Learn About Taste and Smell. Co-authored by respected children's writers Felicia Law and Steve Smallman, this engaging educational book introduces early learners to the mechanics of the human body. Through simple, playful text, readers will learn how the tongue uses tiny taste buds to identify sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors, and how the nose detects thousands of different scents. More importantly, the book explains the fascinating biological teamwork between our olfactory system and taste buds, demonstrating why food tastes bland when we have a cold. Beautifully brought to life by Shirley Tourret’s warm and vibrant illustrations, this book breaks down basic human physiology into delightful, bite-sized lessons, making it a perfect science resource for curious young minds.
