Reach for this book when your preschooler enters the 'discovery phase' and begins asking how their body knows what is happening around them. It is an ideal tool for grounding abstract scientific concepts in the familiar world of animals, helping children bridge the gap between their own physical sensations and the world of biology. The story follows two dogs: Charlie in the city and Buttercup in the country: as they navigate their different environments using sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. By contrasting a bustling urban setting with a quiet rural one, the book encourages children to notice the unique sensory details of their own surroundings. It is a gentle, vocabulary-rich introduction to STEM that fosters a sense of wonder about the everyday mechanics of the human (and canine) body.
