Summary: I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS BOOK!!!
Review: My 20-month old son and his two cousins absolutely love this book. All three kids know what animal is next before the page is turned. This book is excellent for helping children learn their body parts and for developing memory skills.

Summary: A head start to sign language
Review: My daughter has loved this book since she got it at 7 months old. She's now 2 and still loves it. The "animal" motions quickly became a sign language for each animal, enabling her to name animals much sooner than spoken language allowed. On zoo trips, she'd tell me what each animal was, using the motion desribed in the book: at the giraffes, she'd bend her neck enthusiastically, at the elephants, she'd stomp her foot, etc... She learned one motion at a time, starting with the seal, and it's been great fun for all of us to watch. Especially the shoulder-shrugging buffalo. It's inspired us to invent other animal motions, and there's just no stopping us now. I get this book now for any friend with a 7-18 month old, and it still promises years of fun. It also helped her learn body parts, even less basic ones like neck and shoulders. Get this book and then have fun expanding on the theme!

Summary: My son's first favorite!!
Review: My son (10 months old) loves this book! At first I thought it was just the big bold pictures, but I have many other Carle books and none of them compare the the reactions I get when I read him this one. He always picks it from his stack of books.

Summary: The Best Book yet
Review: Myself anf my daycare children really enjoy this book. We can read it almost every day in circle time and they love it. They can get up and move with the book and it's action. I can't say enough good about it. We also enjoy your other books too! Thanks Eric Carle

Summary: A surprise favorite!
Review: OK, I admit it. This book was a gift, and not one I would have bought for my son. I completely failed to see its charm.That is, until I read it with my one-year-old son! "From Head to Toe" was an instant hit and the first book that made Jack laugh out loud! He asks for it over and over again, and before too long, he was making the signs along with me as we read. And shortly after that I had to laugh out loud when I saw him "reading" the book to himself, making the signs and saying "I Can Do It!" on each page! I highly recommend this book for older babies and toddlers. Mamma may not be enchanted at first -- but I'll bet your little one will shwo you just how much fun this book really is!

Summary: Gets kids who won't sit for books to ask for this one
Review: This book worked wonders for my children when they were about 15 months old up through 24 months old. At that time neither were interested in sitting and listening to stories but this book was terrific -- it gets them up and moving while learning different body parts. Awesome!! They thought beating their chests like a gorilla was hilarious. Head to Toe was a wonderful introduction for our children on following a book from beginning to end and opened the door for bedtime stories and more.

Summary: Gets kids who won't sit for books to ask for this one
Review: This is a beautiful book for teaching young children the names of body parts. It is also a terrific animal actions book. I love this book as a parent, and as a kindergarten teacher, I think it's great too! My daughter enjoys acting out the story, and anticipates each turn of the page. As it is a board book, it is suitable for the very young, who find it completely engaging. A must have for a toddler's library!

Summary: One of Eric Carle's best!
Review: This is a fantastic book! The large, colorful pictures and the simple, clear text keep children bending and stretching right along with the animals! Still, unlike many of the reviewers who loved this for their one-year-olds, we found that this book didn't work for my active, not very verbal daughter when she was one (even though she sat for other books). We pulled it out again around the time she turned 2 and she LOVED IT. This book was a huge hit. Now at almost 4 it is still one of her favorites. Even if she's tired at bedtime she gets on the floor to do her donkey kicks along with the donkey! My older daughter also reported that this was one of her preschool teacher's favorite storytime books. I would say that for many children this book, despite it's deceptively simple pictures and text, is more appropriate for older children (age 2-4). This is a book I buy all the time for 2nd birthdays - It's always a hit! (especially good for active kids who prefer being "active" listeners!) This is an excellent choice for a book that will last kids for years!

Summary: Captivating!
Review: This is a great book for an active class. Toddlers and preschool children love to get up and act the book out. I have them act it out and yell "I can do it" after every page. It's a fantastic book for a restless storytime.
