Toes, Ears, & Nose! A Lift-the-Flap Book

Marion Dane Bauer, Karen Katz

Little Simon, 2003

Another great book from Karen Katz
My kids got a lot of use out of these books. Why? The pages are thicker with a nice hard back. The colors are bright with illustrations that all kids seem interested in. The reading is simple, yet interactive. The flaps are paper, so for those under 2, they will ...

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Baby Board Books)

Child's Play International, 2002

Lots of "hidden" value
At first glance, this book appears to be simply an illustration of a kids song. Some reviewers have complained that that's all there is..so why buy it. But actually, there is a lot more there if you look. First of all, while illustrated songs seem like an odd ...
