Whose Toes are Those?

I purchased this book along with "Whose Knees are These?" for my twin boy and girl. They love these books. I think that they are excellent African-American books. Provide very positive images.

This book, along with its "brother" book "Whose Knees are These" have become our favorite gifts for children in our lives. The books are fun, original, and fast page-turners. My daughter loves to do the "This little piggie" game as we read it. We also appreciate the multi-ethnic illustrations. We think that it is great for all kinds of children to have books featuring all kinds of children!

This book is great for cuddling and playing with your baby. It encourages you to touch and tickle their feet. It also encourages you to ask your baby questions and wait for an answer, even if it is just a coo. I absolutely love the style as it leads to wonderful interaction between parent and baby.

WHOSE TOSE ARE THOSE is Jabari Asim's second board book for babies and toddlers in which the focus is on body parts. The text is playful and engaging and appeals to a child's excitement about themselves. The illustrations are the perfect complement and are bright and colorful, making them easily relatable to the words on the pages. Little girls, especially, will love the book as it clearly represents several of ther aspects, such as "the girl with the sparkling eyes and that cute button nose." WHOSE TOES ARE THOSE is a perfect book to assist in teaching body parts and the beauty of even the simplest of things; in this case, toes. It fosters awareness of self-esteem and depictions of themselves in which children of color can recognize. From the rhyming text to the introduction of counting, this adorable book will become a favorite for children and parents alike. Reviewed by Tee C. Royal of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

I'll copy and edit my review of the matching book which I also own, "Whose Knees Are These," which features a little black boy. I have a new baby and I am seeking out books for black babies. I stumbled across this and I love it. I am buying a load of them for friends for the holidays--I'm planning ahead! I am glad to share my love of books with my son and better still that they feature children of color.
