As an early childhood professional, I am always looking for new books to share with children, their parents & teachers. When I saw this one reviewed in the National Association for the Education of Young Children's magazine, I immediately ordered several copies. I have already used them for teacher training & as baby shower, welcome-to-world new baby & now-you-are-grandparents gifts.The book includes all of the elements of appropriate books for young children. The story/text is simple and incorporates rhyme, repetition & interesting vocabulary. The illustrations are soft yet colorful & clear, subtly addressing similarities & differences.The book provides opportunities to initiate discussions about numbers by counting the fingers, toes & babies. It also addresses social/emotional aspects of development by illustrating empathy & caring interpreted through the faces & actions of the characters.I have yet to see anyone look at this book & not melt into the long "awe" we often hear when looking at something that truly touches our hearts.
Mem Fox has done it again!! I can't wait to share this story with my 1 year old daughter so please publish it in a board book edition! I love the message that we're all so alike as babies despite where we live or what color our skin is. It is so relevant to babies as I am always kissing my babies toes and fingers. Helen Oxenbury has produced beautiful illustrations that are pivotal to the language! Can't wait for the board book!!!
This was the first of Mem Fox's books that I purchased for my baby. The poem is charming and sweet a wonderful and welcome change from the inane text in so many baby books. The art work is delightful. Most importantly though baby LOVES this book. We read together several times and day every time we read he is impatient to get to this book and often wants me to read it at least twice. After reading it I put it aside with the other books we've read and he'll lean over out of my lap to try and grab this book. This was the first book that he clearly enjoyed and his favorite. Every baby should have this book.We have the lap book version and I wish I had purchased Going to Bed in the same format. This version is neither to big nor to heavy. The larger size makes the pictures and the whole book more enjoyable.While looking at other books by Mem Fox I noticed that this one had less than a five star rating. Upon reading the review that claims this book is to big for a 23 month old and that they may have to take their daughter to the ER because of immense weight of this book I couldn't let such nonsense sit there unrefuted to deter anyone from the best baby book in the perfect format. This book is about twice the width of the average baby book and little bit taller. It is thicker than most because of the padded cover, this extra thickness however is not heavy. This book does not ways about as much as two small board books. My son at 7 months old has no trouble turning pages, opening, or closing this book. At 7 months his hands are not yet big enough to hold this book on his own, though I don't doubt that he will be able to do so before 2 years of age. He independently holds the typical small board books (remember this weighs about as much as 2 board books) as well as some toys that way slightly more without issue. While this might hurt a tad if dropped on delicate little toes simply being dropped would do nothing more than create a moment of slight discomfort, it is not heavy enough to cause any injury or any reasonable concern that one has occurred. Even if a child were to threw this book on the floor and hit their foot in the process they would not be hurt.Ignore the hysterical and inaccurate review about the size, this is the perfect board book in a great size. You and your baby will be glad you did.
This is one of the sweetest books I have ever read. It is a perfect bedtime story. It would also make a special baby shower gift.
Dear little babies with their characteristically busy little fingers and stubby little playdough toes delight the reader with their realism. Thank you, Helen Oxenbury! A singalong rhythm that is "easy to read to" encourages the listener to join in after a couple of repeats. Thank you, Mem Fox!Although these two gifted women had "retired", this book, and the Baby World, is as fresh and light-hearted as these babies are. Focusing on the similarities rather than the differences, their message of peace is tenderly and subtly played. I can't wait to give this as a baby gift!
Nothing is sweeter than tiny baby fingers and chubby baby toes-and the babies they go with, of course.Ten Little Finger and Ten Little Toes is a celebration of babies everywhere. City babies, country babies, sick babies, and well babies, all over the world. And the ten little fingers and ten little toes they all come with.The pictures are adorable, the text is cute, and the book held the attention of my six-year-old (who loves babies) and my three-year-old equally well. Both of them wanted the book read over and over and liked looking at the pictures.If you have a child or grandchild about one- to four-years-old, don't miss Ten Little Finger a It is sure to entertain little ones with both the text and the pictures on the 40 page hardcover book.Armchair Interviews says: A real charmer.
My little one loves this book so much that he tore it up and tried to eat it. :) So I bought another one. The book is very well made and the illustrations are awesome. The little babies in there are soo soooo cute that I canât stand it. My little one giggles each time I take this one out to read. The words are big enough for me to run my finger through as I read them out loud. Usually my baby wants me to re-read the same page multiple times as he looks at the illustrations and smiles. Itâs definitely a must have for any little library.
I adore this book. This is the first book my baby ever liked. When you get to the last few pages "but the last baby born was truly divine" get out the tissues and get ready to cry. Right after he was born, I could never get through the end of this book without crying. Now it is fun to tickle his hands and feet and kiss him on the nose when we read it.
