In this newly formatted version of a popular children's title, preschool boys and girls discover how their left and right hands are different, and how together they perform different tasks. Kids also learn to tell left from right as ways of giving directions. This board book presents alternating pages, one set in the shape of a left hand, the opposite pages shaped like a right hand. Color illustrations with text on every page present examples of left and right.

Strange book to have in a library. The hands open up on either side to share a variety of facts and activities that kids can do with hands. It is on board book paper, which will make it more sturdy, but it is for older kids who may not want a book on board book paper.
