My son and daughter (14 months) love this book! It has great simple rhymes, and is nice for talking about body parts (where they are on characters and on you). Plus the pictures are simple and engaging.

Good rhymes identifying all the different parts of the body for younger children. This would be a great book to buy and read often enough that your child has the rhyme memorized about all the different body parts.

A good book for young children learning body parts and getting used to responding to books. Enjoyed the book. Good for 1st grade.

This book give children a look at the parts that make up our bodies and what they are used for. A sweet explanation of body parts in a rhyming text. Some highlights are, 'Here are my cheeks for kissing blushing' and 'Here are my knees for falling down'. Every child can connect with some of the

This easy read book goes over the five senses as well as additional body parts while stating the purpose of each.

Here Are My Hands is a picture book with kids pointing out the different body parts. Its a easy to read rhyming book. It can be used to help kids to identify each body part. As well as what each body part does.

This book would be good for younger students. This would work on fluency and rhyming. Great fun and educational book.

Short simple text about body parts and the things they do and are good for, also used for senses.

This book would have been awesome if it was missing the odd ear and knees pages. It kind of lost me there. The illustrations are cute.

Colorful illustrations and a catchy rhyming text help young readers learn the different parts of the body. Each page, accompanied by a charming illustration, names a body part and an action. Each of the children depicted represents a different race, nationality, or group, allowing the young reader

Highly recommended.
