Our review

Katz hides a baby’s hands, eyes, mouth, belly button, and other body parts beneath large flaps, turning each question into an immediate reveal. The uncluttered pictures make it easy to move from the pictured baby to the listener’s own body.

It works best when an adult pauses before lifting and lets the child point to the matching feature on themselves. The flaps invite active handling but can interrupt the rhythm and take wear. Toes, Ears, & Nose uses clothing and rhyme to reveal body parts; this book offers the simpler question-and-answer game.

Before you buy it

The book depends on intact moving flaps and offers only a brief naming game once the answers are memorized.
