This is an excellent choice to read during a multi cultural lesson for infants and toddlers. As a teacher I could use this book to show the similarities of children with different cultural backgrounds. We could then go from this book into identifying similarities and differences within our bet own classroom.

A cute book that the tots would enjoy ... if the publishers would have thought of the page layouts just a little better. Perhaps it's only the hardcover version I read, but the book doesn't open enough to show the full picture. A child's head is put right in the middle of a two-page spread and the tight binding cuts out a good section of their face, creating a distorted image. And I don't think little ones will be able to recognize what they're looking at - which of course is all of the fun. Reading about eyes and ears; the things they know.

I would have given this three stars ... so maybe try the paperback with your child.

Ages: 2 - 3

**Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! Visit my website: The Book Radar.

Some of the examples given for body parts are absurd; for instance, there's no mention of hearing or listening for ears, instead they're apparently just for washing and drying. The knee one is a poor choice too though at least it's relatable for young children. The children enjoy the pictures.

Ideally suited to the board-book format, Here Are My Hands invites very young children to respond spontaneously and creatively as they learn the parts of the body. The rhyming text and bold illustrations do more than name the eyes, ears, nose, and toes. By featuring children of many different backgrounds, the book quietly celebrates the commonality of people around the world. The intended audience is 1-3 years and 1-2nd grade. I selected this book because students will be able to understand there body parts more and this is engaging book.

Colorful illustrations and a catchy rhyming text help young readers learn the different parts of the body. Each page, accompanied by a charming illustration, names a body part and an action. Each of the children depicted represents a different race, nationality, or group, allowing the young reader to experience the similarity that connects children everywhere.

Highly recommended.

This book is a great way for children to learn about their body. It shows them that we all have the same body parts and they can be used for many things. Many things can happen to our body as well, like the child having a scrape and band aid on his knee. All children can relate to this book and it will help them identify their body parts.

[Andrea Hallahan · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Here Are My Hands” would be an amazing addition to a classroom library because it shows different cultural backgrounds. In all schools, there will be children from different cultures and backgrounds. I love that this book connects different types of children from all over the world. I think learning about different cultures creates a more respectful and accepting child.

[Samantha Mairson-Dougherty · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would make a fine storytime book. The text is simple, rhyming, and flows for easy readaloud. The picture are colorful with lots of movement and diverse representation. Most kids will be able to identify with a character. The theme is relevant and helpful when it comes to teaching body part basics. The ending of the text doesn't really feel like an ending.

[Alyssa Victoriana · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book invites young children to learn about different parts of the body. It features children of many different backgrounds, which I find is really great for young children to see. Representation is very important in the world and it is important for children to see that. This book also is very educational and great for learning.

[Michelle Gallegos · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this rhyming picture book, it invited readers to learn the different body parts. I also really appreciate the diversity that is shown throughout every page. For every different body part there is a different race being presented, this shows readers the similarities all children share around the world. This picture book can be used during a health/science lesson to introduce body parts.

[Tori Crews]

This book is about children learning about different parts of the body. It talks about children from many different backgrounds which I loved. This helps all students feel equal and enough. It is important we are educating our children on this. I believe this is a very formative book that is very engaging for children.

I was not sure this would open things up enough for us, but it was great for the young 4 year olds I was writing with. We wrote things like "Here are my feet for stomping all over blocks" and "Here are my arms for punching." : )

This book is good to teach children about their body parts and what they are used for. It is also good to have in the classroom because it shows a diverse group of children. The book is a little boring but it does a good job of introducing body parts.

[Bethany Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would use this book to teach children about their body parts. I enjoyed this book because it shows children what specific body parts are used for. This would be a good book to read to get to know your children by having them describe what they like about themselves.

[Sophonie Joseph-Canel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is wonderful in helping children with body part recognition. It allows the children to identify different body parts, and also what to do with that body part. It also helps them to get moving, as you’re reading you can prompt children to moves along with the story.

[Tiziana · Rating 4 out of 5]

A simple picture book with rhyming text and large illustrations. This book would be good for toddler storytime as it teaches children various body parts and encourages them to act out the motions along with the story.

[Makayla Mitchell]

I love this book and I love reading it to classrooms! Its alway fun having them help me read along and point out different things and what they see! I also love incorporating colors and sounds as well.

[Triston Dutschke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is meant to be read aloud with young students following along. Through rhyming students will act out the words that the teacher is saying. This can help young students learn the different parts of the body. Along with the purposes they serve.

[Molly · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute picture book about body parts and the things they are used for. Most make sense like "eyes for seeing and crying" but some made me scratch my head like "ears for washing and drying." Why not ears for "hearing and listening"? Overall, though, it is nice and the illustrations are good.

[Katie MacIver · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enojyed this rhyming book and it would be another great book to incorporate within the classroom someday. This book highlights different parts of the body and teaches students about what hands, feet, etc. are.

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rhyming book looks at various parts of the human body and what they do - although the knee for falling down was just a little weird.
It would be helpful to read with a young child and discuss the different parts of the body and what else they do, and give more credit to the knees!

[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 5 out of 5]

This BB helps a small child name the different parts of the body. It will be a great way to engage them in activities that will help them see that their body is made up of many parts. The function of all the parts working together help the body function in a way that enables us to do many things.

Why does it have no hands? When you put your hands behind your back!

Book described the body parts and how they’re used. Owned by: professor thompson book

[Tracy · Rating 3 out of 5]

The spread on ears is really dated. I really dislike that ears are for washing and drying. What about hearing?? No one talks about washing behind your ears anymore.

Nice recurring scaffold, perfect for primary grade writing lessons.

[Miriam Glover- Leffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book to teach about multiculturalism.

[Caontie McNeal · Rating 5 out of 5]

My go to book for introducing parts of the body, this book has quality pictures and easy read.
