Horns to Toes (original 1984; edition 1984)

Not one of our favourites, but we pull this out whenr Liam gets excited about naming body parts. Three monsters show off their limbs, tails, etc. ( )

Fun board book for little ones. A classic Boynton, silly pictures, good rhymes, a little lesson (not too much!). Fun for kids and parents. ( )

Sandra Boynton’s children’s books are new classics. I first discovered her delightful picture books via my sister-in-law, who had an entire shelf of Boynton’s books for my nephew. Now, with my own little boy, I’m really enjoying them. Her books all claim “serious silliness” on the back cover. I’d agree: we all enjoy the light-hearted silliness, but a child may still learn something. more detailed review on my blog

It's very short, only a few sentences per spread.

It's just not very *interesting* to me. Not as funny or catchy as most of her books.

But if you're trying to read to a baby or young toddler, you need all the short books you can get, and this one will fit the bill. ( )

A simple and funny board book about the parts of the body, great for toddlers. Our trio loved this, even before they could talk, and they practiced pointing to the parts of their bodies. The simple, clear and fun drawings appeal to this age group. Highly recommended. ( )
