4.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended by our speech therapist,
By Diane (Glen Allen, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb (Board book)
Our speech therapist recommended this book because of its simple lively rhyming and easy rhythm. My sons were not 2 1/2 yet and not saying many words. But they certainly understood hands and drums and rings and monkeys, so they took to it from the beginning. Unfortunately, it hasn't become a favorite of theirs. I'm not sure if the colors are too "earthy" (mostly brown, yellow and orange) for them or if they just have other stronger interests (horses and firetrucks and construction trucks right now at a little over 2 1/2) However, I like to pull it out and read it simply because *I* enjoy the rhyme and rhythm. But as the therapist pointed out, it is a great book for early readers and for toddlers to participate in the actions and to "read" (memorize). And it uses lots of sounds that are often difficult for children (th, ending consonant sounds on one syllable words). So while the color scheme is not the bright primary colors of many toddler books, I still recommend it for the easy and fun reading.

Feeling a little jipped!,
By Josh (Timbuktu) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb (Board book)
I was raised on this book as a child, and have only the fondest of memories. My book that I had as a child was a first edition hardback that today is quite worn, but still in great use. My 14 month old boy has adopted this book as his favorite as well. Yet, 14 month olds don't fully understand the concept of not ripping pages. So recently I purchased the board book version of Hand Hand Fingers Thumb. I was extremely disapointed that six pages from the original book were omitted! The part omitted is the 'Hello Jack, Hello Jake... and Bye Bye Jake, Bye Bye Jack, and also the Hands with hankerchiefs blow blow blow part. While the book is still a great reading and listening tool, I was very disapointed that this great little board book, that will stand my sons pounding, is abridged.

This review is from: Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb (Board book)
I have been reading this to my daughter since she was an infant. She is 3 years old now and still chooses this book for many bed times. She always has a laugh at the rhymes and enjoys the way mommy sounds silly. Sometimes I sing it. Some times i do it in a really low voice. Some times daddy and I read it together. It is an absolute wonderful book. The repetition and the lyrical sounds. I definitely recommend this to any one considering it.
