Praise for Cat Eyes and Dog Whistles

‘’While the science is clear and accurate, there is also room for gentle humour, as we explore ear wax, distinctive smells, and dizziness, and the sections on animals and their senses are informative and entertaining in equal measure’’. -- Just Imagine

''A lively and engaging narrative gives brilliant insight, accompanied by colourful and equally lively illustrations. It’s time to make sense of the senses!'' -- The BookActivist

''Adorably illustrated. A great way to introduce growing kids to the science of the body in living beings''. -- Armadillo Children's Magazine

''A fascinating book to help children in KS2 learn about how humans and animals experience and relate to the world around them''. -- School Reading List

‘’Useful for accompanying the science curriculum, it's very informative and children will like the drawings, which have a humourous edge to them’’. -- Reading Zone

You won’t believe your eyes… or ears or nose….! Learn how our bodies make sense of reality in this fact packed book about sensory perception.

They say that seeing is believing – and there’s some truth in that. Highly sensitive receptor cells in our eyes, ears, noses, tongues and skin relay messages to the brain and allow us to interpret the things going on around us, creating our sense of reality. But how do our senses work? And how do they differ from the senses of other animals?

This book takes young readers step by step through the biology of each of the senses. Clear texts are peppered with fascinating facts. Did you know that, unlike the other senses, smells are delivered directly to the parts of our brain that are responsible for memory and emotion, meaning that smells can trigger feelings in a way that sight or sound can’t? Did you know that a cow has about 250,000 taste buds, compared to 5,000 of a human, and a mere 30 of a chicken? Or that earwax is 80% dead skin?
