Taste by Ruth Spiro and Irene Chan - OPTIONAL

Taste (
Baby Loves The Five Senses) by Ruth Spiro - illustrated by Irene Chan BOARD BOOK Charlesbridge, 2020. $9. 9781623541545

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Baby tastes a strawberry and wonders what taste is? Flavor molecules in the food attach to the receptors on babies tongue! Combined with the smell of the food, baby can taste things that are salty, bitter, umami, sweet and sour. 

Darling Illustrations, I love that the babies make faces that the reader can imitate. Accurate scientific information with scientific grown up words (molecules, gustatory cortex) I think parents will feel cool reading this to their kids, especially if their adult friends overhear the book. However, I think this is one parents will enjoy more than the children.
