I Hear a Pickle

(and Smell, See, Touch, and Taste It, Too!)

Pickles don't make noise, you say? Sure they do - when you crunch into them! This large picture book is divided into five sections for the five senses, and each section is filled with spot illustrations of adorable tots simply observing and interacting with the world around them: "I smell the pizza," “I see the moon.” The structure stays fresh, thanks to clever negatives – “I don’t see the flower grow” or “I don’t touch the cactus” – and kid-relatable commentary, like “I touch the egg. Oops!” during a baking scene. This is perfect inspiration for talking together with children, and a great reminder to delight in the small things.
