About book Ten Little Fingers And Ten Little Toes Lap Board Book (2011)

This book is about babies all over the world with different skin color and different living situations, but who all have one thing in common--ten little fingers and ten little toes.The concept of this book is adorable and admirable. I would like to see more picture books with children of all different colors included. Babies should be exposed to this from the very beginning to learn that skin color means absolutely nothing. The babies in this book were so cute, they made me smile.My only negative comment is, this book, while applauding racial diversity, does not include disabled children. Not all babies are born with ten little fingers and ten little toes. A truly diverse book would include them as well.Still a good book with a good message. I recommend for reading to those younger than school age. Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes was a great book about diversity. While never coming out and saying which culture the baby comes from, the book shows many different babies born in different places with different skin colors and dress but in the end they all have "ten little fingers and ten little toes". There is large font with very few words on each page which I think will stick out to young readers. The illustrations are very simple with babies that look almost realistic with a soft quality. Children could easily find a baby in the book that looks like them which will help them connect with the story.I really enjoyed this book. I found that it was a great book for all ages but it would be best for toddlers-2nd grade. The repetition would be great for beginning readers and top down reading instruction. I think toddlers would enjoy this book one-on-one. I would read this book aloud to a Pre-K class to teach them that while we all look different, in the end were all made the same. It is quite an easy read due to the fact that the pages rhyme and flow well together.Themes: body parts (fingers,toes,nose), diversity, rhyming
