About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is becoming intensely curious about the world, touching, smelling, and listening to everything. It's a perfect tool to help them name and understand their sensory experiences. The story follows a sweet cat named Tuna as she explores a summer day using her five senses: seeing a butterfly, hearing a bee, smelling a flower, and feeling the warm sun. The interactive lift-the-flap format makes learning about senses a hands-on game. Full of gentle curiosity and the simple joy of discovery, this book is ideal for ages 2 to 5, providing a calm, focused way to build vocabulary and observational skills during a quiet lap-time read.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely gentle and focuses on positive, everyday sensory experiences.
Ideal Reader
A 2 or 3-year-old who loves interactive books and is in the midst of a language explosion, learning to name the world around them. It's also well-suited for a 4-year-old in a preschool setting who is formally learning about the five senses and can connect the cat's experience to their own.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is straightforward and can be read cold. Parents should simply be aware that the paper flaps can be torn by an overeager toddler and may require gentle handling. A parent sees their child trying to touch, smell, and taste everything in sight. The child is constantly asking "What's that?" and the parent wants a simple, engaging book to help channel that curiosity and build vocabulary around sensory experiences.
