Nothing is sweeter, as everyone knows, than tiny baby fingers and chubby baby toes!
The perfect gift for a new arrival, this is the best-loved baby book from Mex Fox and Helen Oxenbury, illustrator of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. All over the world, babies are different. Yet in some ways they are very much the same: each one has ten little fingers and ten little toes – to play with, to tickle, to wave. And each child is very, very special to its parents… With a gently rhyming text and delightfully exuberant illustration, this glorious celebration of babies the world over is a book to treasure. Reverse the book's jacket to find a gorgeous first nursery poster, too!
Delightfully exuberant and endearingly sentimental, this is a simple, glorious
celebration of the differences and similarities between babies the world over.
An instant classic ... there's real magic at work here. * Publisher's Weekly *

“A brilliant interactive book which makes the babies laugh out loud. Highly recommended.” * Toppsta *
“I am not surprised to learn that this book is celebrating it's 10th anniversary as it is a true classic. It has beautiful illustrations and is written really well - simple with a lot of repetition.”
* Toppsta *“The winning combination of gentle text and beautiful watercolour illustrations by the critically acclaimed illustrator Helen Oxenbury means that this is a book that will be read over and over again - and loved by children and parents alike.” * Counsel *
This is a sweet book all about individuality and love. * El
