From Head to Toe

Мы привыкли к тому, что книжки, особенно книжки для самых маленьких рассказывают какую-то историю: животные в сказке оживают, а добро всегда побеждает зло. И это здорово. Но есть еще такие книжки, их еще часто называют книжки-картинки, которые не стремятся рассказать какую-то особенную историю, в них вы не найдете стихов, которые можно декламировать на прогулке или напевать перед сном, в этих книжках самое show more главное - это иллюстрации: яркие, красочные, необычные. Эти книжки словно созданы для того, чтобы просто познакомить ребенка с книгой. А заодно и увлечь в игру. Вот такую книжку придумал и сделал классик американской детской литературы Эрик Карл. Вместе с ее героями: не только мальчиками и девочками, но и пингвином, верблюдом, жирафом, буйволом, тюленем, слоном, кого мы еще забыли назвать? - так весело крутить головой, хлопать в ладоши, выгибать спинку, топать ногами, поднимать п... show less

From Head to Toe, by Eric Carle, is a classic book for young readers. I enjoy this book for many reasons. First, I love how interactive it is. It allows children to move around like different animals do. Not only are they learning about different body parts and animals, but also they are using their large motor skills by moving their neck, shoulders, arms, etc. Next, I enjoy the illustrations. Eric Carle is famous for his illustrations. I think students really enjoy the pictures in all of his stories. Finally, I like that each page is not covered with text. The pictures are the main focus. This is a great book for beginning readers to practice reading because each page only has a few words, and the repetitiveness will make it especially show more easy to read. The main idea of this book is simply to teach children about different body parts and how they can move them. show less

This wonderful little board book encourages the reader to wiggle and imitate the animals it depicts. Illustrated as only Eric Carle can do the animals in the story inspire children to wiggle, stomp, clap and DO!

From Head to Toe by Eric Carle is an engaging picture book that promotes physical movement and body awareness through animal actions. This book also uses clear, repetitive text and distinctive illustrations, the book invites children to observe animals and imitate their movements. This interactive approach supports early motor development, listening skills, and comprehension. The book is appropriate for children ages 2 to 5 years. It can be used effectively during group reading, physical activity breaks, or individual reading time. I would use this to encourage children to follow the movements, making the reading experience active while reinforcing coordination, focus, and participation in a structured yet enjoyable way.

Extra awesome Eric Carle. Pictures of animals doing some physical activity, with a picture of a kid doing the analog: "Can you bend your neck like a giraffe?" Kids love it, and it encourages the adult reader to join in too. My 16mo loves to get on the floor & kick her legs, wiggle her toes, stomp her feet. A diversity of kids -- boys and girls -- are shown, so points there too.

From Head to Toe by Eric Carle allows readers to feel and build self-confidence raise self-awareness. This book can be interactive as it encourages students to move.

I liked this book because it is predictable text. Eric Carle uses the repetition of “I can do it!” to convey a positive message. The illustrations in the book are bright, colorful, engaging, and emphasized because of the use of a white background. I also liked this book because it can be interactive and used as a kinesthetic brain break for students. This is because Carle writes, “Can you do it?” I also liked this book because the different characters are animals that students can become familiar with. I disliked this book because not every person “can do” what show more is asked in the book. For example, students who may have disabilities may not be able to relate or participate when reading From Head to Toe. show less

I gave this book 5 stars because it is typical Eric Carle and the pictures are awesome and the story is simple. I had several Eric Carle books when I was younger and thought I had seen them all but I was wrong. I really liked it. It would be wonderful for group time and getting the kids engaged in the gross motor aspect of the day. It would also be good for teaching body parts.
