Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Church aims to get readers up and moving with action-driven rhymes and a fuzzyheaded toddler who, along with his teddy bear, is happy to provide a demonstration. "Touch your toes,/ bend down low./ Touch your legs,/ up you go," writes Church as boy and bear, drawn in her characteristic cartoon style, stand facing each other, smiling as they upright themselves. "Mouth, ears,/ eyes, nose,/ arms, belly, legs,/ ten tiny toes," reads the book's refrain. Brightly colored, lightly speckled back-drops keep the focus on this affectionate, rosy-cheeked twosome as they take readers on an enthusiastic tour of the body's capabilities. Ages 3-up. (Jan.)

Review by Kirkus Book Review

A playful exploration of the body for the littlest learners. This deceptively simple offering engages toddlers by asking them to participate in the fun by identifying various parts of their bodies and moving them about: "Touch your ears, make them wiggle. / Touch your belly, laugh and giggle. // Touch your mouth, open wide. / Touch your arms, wave side to side." Periodically, the action is interrupted by a catalog of body parts in the form of a catchy refrain: "Mouth, ears, eyes, nose, // arms, belly, legs, / and ten tiny toes!" The brief, lyrical text, the opportunities for interactivity and the focus on a subject dear to toddlers' hearts--themselves and all their glorious parts--make this a candidate for repeat readings. The illustrations feature a happy, shaggy-haired Caucasian toddler and his little teddy bear. The backgrounds are kept simple, focusing readers' attention on the little one as he explores his body as the text directs. In a sweet conclusion, the toddler embraces his teddy, no body part to highlight here--only "a love that grows and grows." Great fun for one-on-one sharing and a perfect toddler storytime selection.
