Horns to Toes

I love this book for my two and my three year old sons. It makes a game out of learning their nose and toes... I like just about every board book by Sandra Boynton, and more importantly my kids do too! They actually read them back to us, they have heard them so many times... by request.

This is a terrific book with a short rhyme on each page showing cuddly animal monsters pointing out their anatomy as they do everyday behaviors like eating or walking. My son loves this book. He points to his own eyes, ears, mouth, arms, etc. as the book discusses each body part. The pictures are colorful and there's just the right amount of text per page.

I bought _Horns to Toes_ for our daughter when she was nine months old, and it quickly became a favorite. This book has a catchy rhyme, which makes it very easy to memorize, so we can recite it on demand no matter where we are (it was so popular when I recited it to the kids at daycare, I had to teach it to her teachers!). We combined the words with gestures, and our daughter learned her body parts before she was a year old. She is now 16-months and still enjoys "dancing" to the words.

This, like Boyton's other books, is one of my daughter's favorites. The rhymes are catchy and easy to read, and my daughter loves pointing to each of her body parts. Better for kids 1-1/2 to 2.

We've had a lot of good times reading this one. Kimberly had the names of her body parts down pat at an early age, and I know this book helped. She also learned to count to ten early with the counting of the fingers in here.
