Our review
Hill’s rhymes begin with clothing—mittens, boots, and a hat—then lift flaps to reveal the body parts underneath. That conceal-and-reveal design gives each short verse a concrete answer and invites the listener to find the same part on their own body.
Choose it for a young toddler who enjoys dressing routines and can manage a slightly fuller rhyme than a one-word concept book. The clothing logic may be less immediate outside cold-weather dress-up. Where Is Baby’s Belly Button? asks direct questions under large flaps; this one makes the body-part game more lyrical and connects it to getting dressed.
Before you buy it
Several clues rely on clothing such as mittens and boots, which may need more explanation than the body parts themselves.
