Good use of rhymes, cute pictures, and great for storytimes about movement, body parts etc. :)

cute children's book. good use of rhyming words.

[Abby Johnson]

Super bouncy, rhythmic rhyming text goes through different body parts and things they can do. Illustrations show a diverse cast of children and adults. This would be super for a storytime or lesson on body parts and would work for very young children. Have parents and children clap along or use rhythm sticks on the beat or invite children and parents to tap, bounce, wiggle each different body part to the beat as you read. It looks like it's out of print, so if you have a copy, take care of it!

Very simple rhyming text and line drawings show what feet, arms, mouths, hands and eyes can be used for. Multicultural illustrations. This book is a celebration of the similarities and differences among us all.

[Gracie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book shows us that we're both same and different. Even though all of our arms hug and our mouths drink, we have different length arms and different colored mouths. I like the subtle dealing with diversity.

it's okay. all body parts, not just dancing feet. bright pictures.

Very simple rhyming text and line drawings show what feet, arms, mouths, hands and eyes can be used for. Children may enjoy acting out some of the actions. Multicultural illustrations.

This book was cute. It rhymes and sings about different body parts and people and what they do. It's good for vocabulary and phonological awareness. Is recommend it for ages 1-4.

The kids were happy enough to listen to this book. It is a good, short read aloud. I was a little bored with it, though.
