At times, the level of detail is astonishing for a kid's book and
the words used never pander to the very young but remain consistent
and scientific. [...] Color my Senses by Paula Aquilla BSc,
OT, DOMP is without a doubt the best book on the sensory system
aimed at young children, but due to the language and detail, its
usefulness extends well beyond the early years and it is equally
suitable for older children who need an introduction to the
senses."
- Gavin Bollard, Life with Aspergers Blog
"[A] simple book that neatly teaches children about their sensory
system while they colour in the pictures. How many other books
would introduce the concept of proprioception by suggesting, 'feel
the position of your foot as it touches the ground' while offering
a drawing of the same that readers can colour in?'.
