More Than a Hike
In this book, a grandson and grandfather go on a hike together on a beautiful fall day. They will find all kinds of things that will involve one or more of our five senses.
Our senses are: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
The boy and his grandfather experience all five of those things while out for their walk. The book also states there are more than forty textures in this story.
This tale will inspire a child to pay attention to the things around them that touch their senses. Maybe they will want to take a walk with their grandparent, or another adult, to explore these things.
Also included are instructions to make a texture mystery box, which is a fun way to learn about textures.
I like that the book warns children not to explore things in nature alone. It is best to take an adult along because there are things that might be poisonous or cause pain.
Children ages four through seven-years-old will enjoy this five-star picture book.
Thanks to Candlewick Press, for providing Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, “How the Forest Feels,” by Wendi Silvano, for the purpose of review. Opinions are my own.
