Book Review
Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little
Toes
by Mem
Fox,
Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
Mem Fox has done it again!!
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!
"Blonde top-knots, springy black curls, haystack red straw and
sleek black hair surround smiling, frowning, sneezing or
contemplative baby faces. Anyone who has ever tweaked a
little piggy will quickly start chanting the infectious
refrain from this ''digital'' romp."
"I love the message that we're all so alike as babies despite where
we live or what color our skin is."
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! Helen Oxenbury has produced beautiful illustrations
that are pivotal to the language!
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.
“This is one of the sweetest books I have ever read. It is a
perfect bedtime story. It would also make a special baby
shower gift.”
