It's a beautiful example of how some wonderful words can sing with amazing photography of children. The layout of the book is bold & bright and an instant eyecatcher. The photos capture the joy of the children as if you were right there with them. My 3 year old loves to follow along & point out all the activities on the pages. Just great! Highly recommended!
We actually checked this book out from the library, and while I didn't think my 16-month-old daughter would be super impressed with this book, she proved me wrong. For the past 2 weeks, it's the book she demands to be read to her very first, before all other books. If it looks like she's not in the mood for book time, all I have to do is get this book out and she will instantly calm down and sit still for every single page. She loves mimicing the pictures: smearing finger paints, giving hugs, pat-a-cake, peek-a-boo, and waving hello and goodbye. She loves pointing to all the hands she can find, and since reading this book, she has taken a very keen interest in hands and fingers, which leads us to be able to practice counting our fingers. I would recommend this book to anyone, it's sure to be a favorite!
A MUST for all children's libraries! I bought this book for my now 4-year-old when she was 18-months. She loved it then and has continued to enjoy it to this day. Now that she's a preschooler, she enjoys "acting it out." My 21-month-old has loved this book since she was around 8-months-old and she's very picky, but has always especially enjoyed books with pictures of kids and babies. I can remember her crawling across the floor to get to this book! The title was one of her first 2-word sentences. She, too, loves to act it out and we all know it so well we can sit around the dinner table and recite it together word for word.
This book is so sweet and my child immediately adored it. He even clapped his hands when he saw the pages with the kids clapping. I cried, it made me so happy! Lovely book, and endorsed by Montessori, too.
"Hands can clap while voices sing. Hands can do all kinds of things." Hands Can, by author Cheryl Willis Hudson and photographer John-Francis Bourke, is a celebration of the wonder of little hands.Hands Can describes and shows children using their hands in a variety of activities. It also shows a variety of hands. There are girl hands, boy hands, toddler hands, "big-kid" hands and hands of many races.Young children will love Hands Can, with its simple, rhyming text, bright colors and delightful photographs depicting children having fun with their hands. They will want to wave hello like the little boy in beginning of the story. They will want to play Peekaboo like the little girl near the end. They will want to read this book again and again.
I have never reviewed anything on , but my daughter's reaction to this book is definitely worth documenting! I bought it a long time ago- before my 15 month old daughter was even born. I recently pulled it off the shelf for her (she is moving out of the board-books-only phase.) I am amazed how much she loves it! She brings it to us to read multiple times a day. She wants to go through the pages over and over, looking at kids as they do all of her favorite things... paint, throw balls, wave hi, clap, sing, etc. It is mesmerizing for her. I love how positive the book is about all of the things kids can do. Very highly recommended!
This is my daughter's favorite book! It is a sturdy, slightly oversized board book about all the things that hands can do. Each spread features photographs of children engaged in activities familiar for young children (clapping, waving, hugging, playing peekaboo, etc.). The text is straightforward and alternating spreads rhyme. It is a great book for getting toddlers engaged with the story because they can mimic many of the scenes in the text. My one year old wants to read this book again and again.
What a great hands on book for kids to read. This is a perfect book for kids learning to read and for babies and toddlers too! My toddler doesn't usually like to read but she loves this book because of the pictures and the fact that the words MATCH the pictures. She uses her hands alongside the pictures in the book and copies their movements. Great montessori book too.
