Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes

Product Information

Even when Orlean’s prose wavers, Karas’s gouache, pencil, acrylic and photo­graphic collages build an appealing city­scape full of hilarious details and baby-coddling New Yorkers. His images also build the big sister’s bravado into a narrative journey: the story of a girl who comes to terms with her new baby brother. There’s no doubt about it, this book is a delight, and deserves five stars both in terms of enjoyment, and for stressing the commonality of humans, rather than any perceived superficial differences. But there is a slight tarnish perhaps on one point of that fifth star ... Ten Little Fingers (and Ten Little Toes) is a nursery rhyme and lullaby. This song can be used to teach kids the different body parts. It can also be used as a lullaby in the night. Sing it gently, and the children will get sleepy in no time :)

It’s worth noting that this kind of humor is generally aimed at adults. After all, grown-ups are the ones who have to worry about the practical stuff. Tailoring this theme to a young audience is tough. Sometimes “Lazy Little Loafers” talks to New Yorker-reading parents, not their children. How many 5-year-olds, for example, will respond to the humor of babies who “go out for a three-bottle lunch and get a little tipsy”? Mem Fox is an Australian storyteller and children's writer. I know that Mem and I share similar attitudes on this issue and others. It seems that Mem has undertaken to write a book to teach the same concept that I was talking about. It goes... The other super annoying part of this book is that it depicts an Inuit/Eskimo girl standing next to a freaking penguin (penguins only live in the Southern Hemisphere). My husband contends that the girl is currently living abroad with her parents, who happen to be penguin research scientists, on Antarctica, but I am less forgiving. Neither the author nor the editor thought twice about this?

WINNIE the POOH “Promise me you'll always remember you're braver than you believe and stronger...” A.A. Milne Quote Disney Wood Burned Sign I don't want to put these people down. I don't want my Thai readers to think any less of them. They simply didn't know better. They'd never met any Thais but they'd been taught to dislike them. They perceived differences but I pointed out how much Thais and Cambodians have in common. How different their attitudes might have been if they were taught this as children instead of being told lies.

The text of the book does not mention any differences at all but Helen Oxenbury's illustrations show babies from many different races and the book subtly and beautifully suggests that we all have more in common than we are different. For over a decade Mem Fox’s Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes, brought to life by Helen Oxenbury’s diverse cast of delicious babies, has been shared by parents and their little ones the world over. Tip: Touch the different body parts when they are mentioned in the song. You can also count the fingers and the toes! This book has a great message, and one I feel it's important to impart at an early age. It has a great rhythm as well which lends to easy reading out loud. Mem Fox is Australia’s most highly regarded picture-book author. Her first book, Possum Magic, is the best selling children’s book ever in Australia, with sales of over three million. And in the USA Time for Bed and Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge have each sold over a million copies. Time for Bed is on Oprah’s list of the twenty best children’s books of all time. Mem has written thirty picture books for children and five non-fiction books for adults, including the best-selling Reading Magic, aimed at parents of very young children.Heartwarming Knit Medium Lovey Baby Blanket, Micro-Preemie Small Receiving Blanket (Colorway: Little Dinosaurs) [Approx. 11.5x10.25”] First Opinion: Babies, Babies, and More Babies".

Toy Storage Personalized Birthday Gift for Boy Toy Box with wheels Montessori Furniture Toddler Gifts for Kids Wooden Decor for Nursery This book seems extremely simple at first glance, but holds a deeper meaning. It begins with telling the readers about two different babies that are born and then explains that they both have “ten little fingers and ten little toes”. The book then goes on to describe different babies that are born and continues to explain that each baby has ten fingers and ten toes. The illustrations in this book are what tell the story because they show that each baby looks different in terms of their clothing, size, skin color, and hair color. On the one hand, it’s a classic that’s loved by many people with a message that’s supposed to highlight unity, i.e. no matter where you come from, all human beings are the same underneath and therefore should respect each other.

I think it's outrageous that a book giving so much thought to inclusivity and acceptance of diversity, gave zero thought to children born with physical disabilities.
