Here Are My Hands

One of my favorite books for little children. I heard about this book almost 30 years ago when my son was a baby. I bought it then and read it to him so many times the book nearly wore out. "Here are my hands for catching and throwing...here is my head for thinking and knowing"... not only does it teach kids the parts of their bodies it ends with a big hug. I love this book so much I am now buying for the next generation of kids in my family. This one's a keeper.

A diverse collection of kids beautifully and cleverly illustrate the uses of eyes, ears, hands, teeth etc

Great story that goes well with an 5 senses unit or an all about me unit. I love the pictures and great for younger ages .

This is one great book. Shows diverse children with catchy phrases. Both kids loved it. We get it for all of our friends. It now seems quite difficult to find an affordable copy. The baby board book it the recommended version. I hope u get one. And enjoy it as much as we do.

I like this book because it is a simple book that goes over a few body parts that are the most common ones you first teach your child about. I love the illustrations showing diversity. I got the book and gave it to my husband to read to my 4 year old and he came to me and said “one of the pages didn’t make any sense”. Then he told me what it said. Now of course ears can be for washing and drying but it’s just weird to say this. I would have at least expected a scene with a child in the bathroom after a bath and getting dried off (lol) but it’s a pic of a boy with a shell to his ear listening to it (which makes a lot of sense because ears are for listening and hearing). This has got to be a typo. Otherwise it’s a great little book worth the price.

One of my very favorite authors. Can't go wrong with any of his books. This one is perfect for newborn to toddler. I have to add to this review that I wrote months ago. My grandson is now 10 months old. Out of the many wonderful books I've given him, this remains his number one favorite. I've read it to him almost daily since he was only a few months old along with other books. He sits in awe as we turn each page. He taps the page and now talks to each character. He has his favorites and smiles when we come to those pages. I already knew Bill Martin, Jr. was a special author for children and Ted Rand's illustrations are perfecr for his stories. So I don't hesitate to purchase his books. I didn't know that this book would be my grandson's favorite.

This is a great book for teaching toddlers body parts - "here are my hands for catching and throwing, here are my feet for coming and going". My little one absolutely loves it and asks for it over and over again. I, like one of the reviewers below, don't like some of the choices the author made such as "here are my ears for washing and drying". It would have been better to say something like "here are my ears for listening and hearing". Regardless, she loves it and it learning to point to all of her body parts with the book. In the end, it teaches her the following body parts which makes it very valuable: chin, elbow, arms, feet, hands, cheeks, eyes, ears, head, knees, teeth and nose.

Nice little book for small child.

As a gift for a one year old this book will be so helpful. The size is perfect, not heavy but on quality paper. The drawings are good and accurate for little ones to understand.

LOVED using this with Touch Chat for my child in therapy.

Lovely simple book with illustrations that my little boy loves. He's 20 months old and asks to read this book at least 4 times each day!

Delightful book, naming the parts of the body. Great illustrations and a lovely, simple story for very young children. My daughter adored this as a baby.

Lovely little book that helps describe the parts of the body with a cute little story
