Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes

Engaging Multicultural Story

This story shows children from many different cultures -each one as delightful as can be. The repetitious "ten little fingers and ten little toes" invites your toddler to join in the reading of the story. My two year old grand-daughter loves this story. I've bought two more to give as gifts to expectant parents.

Counting fun

Beautifully illustrated, this little rhyming book is a charming way to introduce the concept of counting to toddlers. Most two year olds will understand every word in this vocabulary, and when I read it to my grand daughter last week, her impulse was, of course, to check out her own fingers and toes. A fun bit of word play and learning.

Beautiful message matched by beautiful illustrations

We selected this book as a first Christmas gift for our new niece, who was adopted internationally this year. We appreciate the message of common traits in children from all different places and circumstances. As the educators in our family would say, we are more alike than we are different!

A lovely message with equally lovely illustrations. A treasure to keep and share for years!

love it!!!

so sweet, so beautiful, and the illustrations are fantastic. my 18 month loves it and is engaged and joyful every night when we read it before bedtime!

Excellent story and concept!

My 11 month old loves this book for the rhyming and cute pictures. I love this book because of the great message, that we all have more similarities than differences, no matter how we look or where we are born. I also love that my daughter wants me to kiss her nose at the end, just like the mama does to the baby in the book. :-)

Great book!

Sweet little book with delightful pictures! Love this one and every young child should have one!! Mem Fox books are the best!!

entertaining for the whole family!

"There was one little baby/who was born far away./And another who was born/on the very next day./And both of these babies,/as everyone knows,/had ten little fingers/and ten little toes."

This book is full of great simplicity and easy to remember rhyme that floats easily with repetition. All kinds of babies from different ethnic backgrounds are shown on the pages of this book, but all of this babies have something in common - ten little fingers/and ten little toes! The book sweetly ends with the sketch of narrator's baby who is "truly divine" and has 10 little fingers and ten little toes ... as well as "three little kisses on the tip of its nose".

Detailed pencil-and-watercolor pictures offer opportunities to point and count for the little ones, making the reading even more entertaining for the whole family.

Baby's first book

I bought this book for my son and daughter-in-law to read to their soon to come baby. It's a great combination of I love you and "this little piggy". The illustrations are cute and colorful and it's a story all ages will enjoy

Lovely Book for the very young

It teaches children what we all need to learn. "We are all precious in God's eyes".

Great for all ages!

This is one of the few books that both my 16 month old and 3 and 1/2 year old request. It is very relaxing AND the illustrations are beautiful!
