Book Reviews of From Head to Toe Board Book
Book Review: Have your class stand up and shout "I can do it!!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for an active class. Toddlers and preschool children love to get up and act the book out. I have them act it out and yell "I can do it" after every page. It's a fantastic book for a restless storytime.Book Review: Mom of a book loving 19 month old
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter a couple of months ago and it quickly became one of her favorites! She loves to have us read this and eagerly mimics the motions of each animal. I think it was a fun way to teach her about different parts of the body.Book Review: One of Eric Carle's best!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book! The large, colorful pictures and the simple, clear text keep children bending and stretching right along with the animals! Still, unlike many of the reviewers who loved this for their one-year-olds, we found that this book didn't work for my active, not very verbal daughter when she was one (even though she sat for other books). We pulled it out again around the time she turned 2 and she LOVED IT. This book was a huge hit. Now at almost 4 it is still one of her favorites. Even if she's tired at bedtime she gets on the floor to do her donkey kicks along with the donkey! My older daughter also reported that this was one of her preschool teacher's favorite storytime books. I would say that for many children this book, despite it's deceptively simple pictures and text, is more appropriate for older children (age 2-4). This is a book I buy all the time for 2nd birthdays - It's always a hit! (especially good for active kids who prefer being "active" listeners!) This is an excellent choice for a book that will last kids for years!Book Review: My daughter loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very fun book overall. My 17-month old adores zoo animals and loves Eric Carle's books in general. She acts out the activities with the animals. Yes, some are hard for a baby/toddler to discern on her own, but this is part of the joy of reading this book WITH your child. It allows you to be actively involved in the book along with the child.Book Review: A head start to sign language
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter has loved this book since she got it at 7 months old. She's now 2 and still loves it. The "animal" motions quickly became a sign language for each animal, enabling her to name animals much sooner than spoken language allowed. On zoo trips, she'd tell me what each animal was, using the motion desribed in the book: at the giraffes, she'd bend her neck enthusiastically, at the elephants, she'd stomp her foot, etc... She learned one motion at a time, starting with the seal, and it's been great fun for all of us to watch. Especially the shoulder-shrugging buffalo. It's inspired us to invent other animal motions, and there's just no stopping us now. I get this book now for any friend with a 7-18 month old, and it still promises years of fun. It also helped her learn body parts, even less basic ones like neck and shoulders. Get this book and then have fun expanding on the theme!
