Product Description
As everyone knows, nothing is sweeter than tiny baby fingers and chubby baby toes. . . . And here, from two of the most gifted picture-book creators of our time, is a celebration of baby fingers, baby toes, and the joy they—and the babies they belong to—bring to everyone, everywhere, all over the world! This is a gorgeously simple picture book for very young children, and once you finish the rhythmic, rhyming text, all you’ll want to do is go back to the beginning . . . and read it again! The luminous watercolor illustrations of these roly-poly little ones from a variety of backgrounds are adorable, quirky, and true to life, right down to the wrinkles, dimples, and pudges in their completely squishable arms, legs, and tummies.

 Nice lesson. January 6, 2009
Love the lesson behind this story. However, this book is probably best for toddlers and up because (1) the book isn't built for a lot of wear and tear and (2) the pictures aren't brightly colored and don't capture the attention of infants - at least not my nephew. Otherwise, good book for kids.
Beautiful book! November 23, 2008

This is a lovely book, and makes a great "new baby" gift! Rhymes and repetition make it a favorite of my 18-month old. Illustrations are beautiful!

I sent this product back as I did not receive what I needed/wanted and they sent me the same thing so I kept it. I wanted this same book for a baby in a "Board Book" but I got a hard bound book which isn't appropriate for young children.
I love the book and the author that is why I chose this book.
Great choice for a baby shower November 3, 2008

Fun to read with the new baby - older siblings get into the rhyme as well
Thank you, Mem and Helen, for coming out of retirement one last time! October 30, 2008

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!
