One of a series covering all the senses and based on the requirements of the Key Stage One science curriculum, 'Taste' begins by examining different kinds of taste and moves on to look at how we taste. It also looks at how taste works with other senses and even includes some games to experiment with taste. The illustrations and examples refer to a child's likely everyday experiences so making the information accessible to the youngest readers. Notes for parents and teachers include suggestions for learning activities that reinforce the information in the book. The book also includes a list of further reading and resources. Mike Gordon is a highly successful illustrator whose work for Wayland has established a respected information books brand.
