I bought this book for my one-year old and within one or two weeks my daughter was pointing to all of her body parts as a result of reading it with us (we of course pointed to our own body parts at first to show her). I bought it because she is very into lift-the-flap books and it was a very pleasant surprise that it's become such a great learning tool. I would definitely recommend it!

My ten month old loves his Karen Katz books (we have four of them). He loves to lift the flaps as we go, but sometimes he gets excited and tears them right off -- the flaps are paper thin in this book. It seems like we're always repairing them. But that's the only downside...the illustrations are colorful and we always touch his nose when we get to the nose page and his ears, etc and he giggles. They're very cute books. I just wish they were sturdier.

My son loves this book...so much so he's torn off one of the earflaps. Would have given five stars, but it's just not durable enough (but nothing some tape every so often can't fix). Since we've been reading it he's been pointing to his nose, eyes, and ears.

Similar to Karen Katz' 'Where is Baby's Belly Button', 'Toes, Ears & Nose' is a delightful book that allows little ones to 'find' noses, toes and tummies, this time by lifting flaps in a 'peek-a-boo' kind of way. My 14 month old enjoys this book, especially now since we are mastering where noses and toes are on ourselves. Very sweet indeed.

My 20 month old seems to enjoy this book, but doesn't go crazy over it. Personally, I'm not that impressed by the art. Each drawing seems to dominate the page to the point that it's almost disorienting. And it consequently takes away some of the impact of each flap, rendering them less exciting (for both of us) to find and to open. I have seen much better lift-the-flap books.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book. Karen Katz has such wonderful illusration thate appeal to young children. We have almost all of her books, but this on is my daughter's favorite. She takes it almost everywhere with her, and somethime even sleeps with it too! It has been read so many time that I had to buy another copy, but it was money well spent.
