Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes
Author: Mem Fox
Illustrator: Helen Oxenbury
Scrumptious! Tiny toes and fingers are celebrated as babies and toddlers delight in their self discovery. This story is also available as a baby’s board book.
Playful tiny tots from around the world are beautifully brought to life by critically acclaimed illustrator Helen Oxenbury. Little ones will delight in the repetitions and rhyming verse of this adorable frolic, filled with friendship and mirth.
Even a baby with a runny nose get in on the fun. The faces are light hearted and show the pure spirit of a happy child.
This could also be used as a counting book as the toes and fingers are clearly drawn.
The multicultural element is brilliantly inclusive. Children are gently engaged by the eight different babies in the story, expanding their awareness of our global communities.
The last little baby is the narrators own child, who to the delight of the others gets three little kisses on the end of its nose.
A genuine breath of fresh air in comparison to some of the dull formulaic and overly saccharine baby books on the market today.
