Whose Toes Are Those?

My little one loves this book. I really recommend it for first time readers and young readers new to words.

The writing is just SO precious! My toddlers love this book! I know that having a main character that looks like them is familiar as well. "Whose Knees Are These" & "Whose Toes Are Those" are stapple additions to every little bookshelf. Because my kids love these books so much, we regularly share these books as gifts for baby showers and 1st birthdays.

My kids absolutely love this book--and it's companion, "Whose Knees are These." The last page shows the characters head to toe with big smiles, and my kids laugh out loud when we get to that page. The pictures are fun and colorful with special things like a cat my kids have begun pointing out. It's a great opportunity to start introducing body parts too. While I read it, I tickle their toes and knees and make the connection to the characters. I love that these books talk about "brown knees" in a way that doesn't sound like some of the cheesy diversity books out there for kids.Some people have commented that the "toes" book is for girls and the "knees" book is for boys, and if someone wants to make a direct identification with the characters, this may be true. But I would hate for someone to avoid one or the other for this reason. I simply changed the line to "her toes," and I gave the boy a name. My other issue about directly identifying with the characters is that hopefully parents of white kids will still get these books for their kids. Unfortunately, there are too many best-selling books out there that only show white characters (I Love You Through and Through, Big Little). I was frustrated that my kids' books weren't reflecting the diversity of the world for my white children, but I hate most of the diversity-themed books. I was excited to find these books that are fun, simple board books that don't star a white child. Baby Cakes is another sweet board book that depicts babies with different skin tones.I highly recommend this book for all children. It's been a favorite from the beginning at around 7 months. They're now 15 months, and they still love it.

She is only two but she has memorized this book from cover to cover. I first purchased it when she was turning one and she loved it so much I had to purchase one more time! This is a great book to not only read but interact with your child. While cuddled on my lap I will count her “10 little toes all in a row” or lift up, point to and tickle her feet when asking “Whose toes are those”. We absolutely love reading this book again and again and it is always included in our weekly bedtime story rotation.

Cutest book ever. My little gets very involved with this one, as it is a book that pairs wonderfully with relevant interactions. It’s a must for any infant/toddler library.

Did you know between 2018-2019, 44% of children's books were about white characters alone and 80% percent of books were by white authors and/or illustrators? If we want all children to have stories that reflect their experiences, then we all must buy more books featuring BIPOC and LGBTQ+ characters and written or illustrated by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors and illustrators.

My 2yr old son loves the book. He brings it to me multiples times a day and begs for me read to him. My 7yr old son reads it to him too. The only thing is that it reference a little girl. So I had to be creative and change some of the words so it can be relatable to a boy. I will purchase another book from this author.

I was just so happy that my daughter and grandson love this so much
