Senseational Illusions

Publisher: DK

Explore your senses with this amazing, interactive book that tests and challenges the different ways the human body experiences the world. All five senses are tackled: sight, sound, taste, touch, smell – and even some different kinds of senses you might not have thought about before.

There are experiments on every page for readers to try out – things to make at home as well as things to do using the book itself. Learn how the way the eye sees things can be distorted or explore pages just by touch. There's a pop-up to challenge the brain, a scratch 'n' sniff to confuse the nose and even a maze to check out how co-ordinated you are – or aren't!

Every trick and illusion includes an explanation of how it works and why the body reacts the way it does. A really fun book that turns science into a game.
