My Hands

This story was so cute! I love how the author talked about the hands first and then dived into the specifics- what each finger does, how pairs of fingers work together, etc. I'd use this book when discussing the five senses.

This early-education concept book is easy to follow, well drawn, and clearly portrays the subject matter.

The organizational structure of the book is presented in a way that demonstrates in increasing levels of complexity, the uses for one's hands.

I both like the inclusion of the word "ambidextrous" and dislike the fact there was no clue to its pronunciation for the reader (young or old).

Everybody has two hands and we use them for everything. It would be very hard to do things without them. I love this book. It shows everything about the hand. It names the different fingers and shows different things your hands can do. It is a great book to show a pre k class when talking about parts of the body. They will be able act out the book as someone reads it.

My Hands is best suited for children in preschool through first grade. The book would be helpful in assisting children with distinguishing between their right and left hand. It also introduces each of the five fingers. First, by name, and then by a distinguishing feature. For example, “the middle finger is the longest”. The book also discusses a few of the many ways that we use our hands. Many of the beginnings of the lines were repetitious. Again, this would be useful and fun for children who are learning about their hands. I read this book to my 3-year-old son, and he enjoyed it. As we went through the book naming the different things that our hands could do, he imitated what the children in the book were doing.

This book is not very explicit about the human hands, but it does give good details about your hand appearance and what you can use them for. With the science curriculum this book about hands will fall under anatomy. This book is a good opening to teaching children anatomy without the realizing it. This book would pair good with having the children do activities with their hands to show them physically what their hands could do.

My Hands is a book about our hands and how we use them all day everyday. It explains the different parts of our hands and how our hands change over time from when we were babies to when we get older. It explains how so people are different and use different hands to do things. This would be a good book to read to children when learning about body parts and that if your left handed or right handed its ok. Just because you use a different hand doesn't make it a bad thing.

This book is all about hands. It teaches you the left from the right and tells you why thumbs are important. It explains the importance of having thumbs and without them you couldn't pick up anything! The story also tells you the reason we have finger nails. This book was really cute and it would be good to introduce in a lesson about biology and the parts of the human body.
