How can any of us, but especially children, know God? The most direct way is through the senses. Inspired by the Psalm verse, this book uses simple words and depictions of ordinary moments to connect God's loving and ever-faithful presence with the goodness of everyday life. In poetic language, the author summons up richly evocative domestic scenes that children are experiencing for the first time and that adults will recall with great pleasure: cotton candy from a carnival, crickets at night, brownies fresh from the oven, the tickle of snowflakes on eyelashes. For each of the five senses, there are several illustrations that immediately summon up the physical sensation. A volume of pure delight, Taste and See gently delivers the incarnational message that God is in all things because God made all things. The book naturally leads children to gratitude and joy, plus invites them to active participation by talking about their own favorite moments of life. A "sixth sense" concludes the book by saying that love of family is the best way of all to know God. This is a basic introduction to children's spirituality, appropriate for Christian kids of all denominations, ages two to six. The title is a classic addition to any home, school or parish library. It's also especially useful for teachers and catechists who want to explain a deep theological idea in terms every child (and adult) can understand.

Well, it's not like I really disagree with C.S. Lewis's argument here. I just think that the essential points are summed up rather more succinctly in the first few minutes of Monty Python's "Happy Valley" sketch:STORYTELLER: Once upon a time, long, long ago, there lay in a valley far, far away in the mountains the most contented kingdom the world has ever known. It was called Happy Valley, and it was ruled over by a wise old king called Otto. And all his subjects flourished and were happy, and there were no discontents or grumblers, because wise King Otto had had them all put to death, along with the trade union leaders, many years before. And all the happy folk of Happy Valley sang and danced all day long, and anyone who was for any reason miserable or unhappy or who had any difficult personal problem was prosecuted under the Happiness Act.
PROSECUTOR: Caspar Schlitz, I put it to you that you were, on February 5th this year, very depressed with malice aforethought, and did moan quietly, contrary to the Cheerful Noises Act.
SCHLITZ: I did.
COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENCE: May I explain, m'lud, that the reason for my client's behaviour was that his wife had just died that morning?
[All except the accused laugh uproariously.]
JUDGE: Members of the jury, have you reached your verdict?
FOREMAN: Guilty.
[All laugh again.]
JUDGE: [donning red nose and trying to stifle giggles] I hereby sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you cheer up.
[Yet more hearty laughter]
