About the Book
Andy's mother has just finished reading him a story about the five senses. With his imagination aroused, Andy sats he would like her to show hom "things to smell and taste, and feel / hear and see." They go for a walk and soon find themselves at a street fair where, in succession, they see a clown dressed in gold, smell the hot popcorn, hear a brass band, feel a fuzzy teddy bear, and taste a hotdog. Still hungry, they enter a bakery where Andy, with delight, experiences the five senses, like the smell of the bread, the feel of a soft muffin, and the taste of a cookie. The story concluides with a fascinating bedtime activity involving the five senses.
About the Author
Love of children stands out in Bernice's life. Trained as a social worker (Russel Sage College), teacher (State University of New York in Plattsburg) and guidance counselor and reading specialist (New York University), she has used her knowledge and skills in many ways. Early in her career, she was a caseworker for children in foster homes. One of her most challenging and satisfying experiences began ten days after her honeymoon when she became cottage mother for twenty boys, ages 5 to 15, boys who had been unable to adjust to life in other cottages. Most of her working years, however, were devoted to teaching children * in preschool, kindergarten and the early grades - on Long Island, and in supervising student teachers of the early grades at Douglass College and Rutgers University. Her joy in her work was combined with joy in her personal life, as wife, mother of two sons, and four-time grandmother. These two interrelated sides - her career and her personal life - are reflected in two co-authored books: four editions of Student Teacher's Handbook and A Guide to a Happier Family. She has been on many radio and TV programs, including Oprah. Her other interests include reading, sports, especially tennis, and the arts. She is happy to have Michael Go as her partner in producing the Andy Series of Rhymed Children's Books.
