Toes, Ears, & Nose! A Lift-the-Flap Book


Bauer, M. D., & Katz, K. (2003). Toes, ears, & nose! New York, NY: Little Simon.

Recommended Age: 0+
Format: Board Book

This board book is very colorful as typical of Karen Katz. The book is a lift the flap book, and the flaps are generally very large so little fingers can lift them. The text says things like "Inside my mittens I got..." And under the mitten shaped flap it says "Fingers". This book is perfect for teaching simple anatomy to small children. It would be good to read to infants and toddlers. The colors will keep the young children interested and seeing other babies in the book will help them relate. It is not very text heavy so attention span is not a problem. Lifting the flaps will help with young children's fine motor skills.
