Book Reviews of From Head to Toe

Book Review: A head start to sign language
Summary: 5 Stars

My daughter has loved this book since she got it at 7 months old. She's now 2 and still loves it. The "animal" motions quickly became a sign language for each animal, enabling her to name animals much sooner than spoken language allowed. On zoo trips, she'd tell me what each animal was, using the motion desribed in the book: at the giraffes, she'd bend her neck enthusiastically, at the elephants, she'd stomp her foot, etc... She learned one motion at a time, starting with the seal, and it's been great fun for all of us to watch. Especially the shoulder-shrugging buffalo. It's inspired us to invent other animal motions, and there's just no stopping us now. I get this book now for any friend with a 7-18 month old, and it still promises years of fun. It also helped her learn body parts, even less basic ones like neck and shoulders. Get this book and then have fun expanding on the theme!

Summary of From Head to Toe

What does an elephant do? It stomps its foot. Can you? From the creator of such beloved classics as The Grouchy Ladybug and The Mixed-Up Chameleon comes this interactive story that invites kids to imitate animal movements. Watching giraffes bend their necks or monkeys wave their arms is fun, but nothing could be better than joining in. From their heads down to their toes, kids will be wriggling, jiggling, and giggling as they try to keep up with these animals!Alligators wiggle, elephants stop, gorillas thump, and giraffes bend. Can you do it? ' I can do it!' is the confidence-building message of this fun-filled interactive picture book. A variety of familiar animals invite young children to copy their antics, and as they play, they will learn such important skills as careful listening, focusing attention, and following instructions. Just as alphabet books introduce the very young child to letters and simple words, From Head to Toe introduces the basic body parts and simple body movements. And in the same way that children progress from understanding simple words to reading and writing sentences and stories, so they will progress from simple body movements to dancing, gymnastics, and other sports and activities, with confidence and pleasure.

Eric Carle's colorful collages have delighted children for more than a generation. Each book provides hours of fun while encouraging them to stretch their imaginations. His matchless words and illustrations now send out a new challenge:

Are you ready?
