Hello Ocean by Pam Munoz Ryan allows us to experience the 5 senses while on a trip to the beach. It goes through smell, touch, taste, see and hear each one with many different examples from the ocean shore. The illustrations are so realistic they look like photographs. The realistic illustrations make it easy for anyone to imagine a day the beach, swimming in the salt water. As you read along you become absorbed in the book and it’s like you are there experiencing it yourself. When I was finished reading the book it made me want to jump in my car and go to the nearest beach! This would be a good book to demonstrate the 5 senses in a classroom. Students could see the power of writing using the senses.
