Board Book
For Baby to Preschool
Written with a fun rhythm, the book rhymes about monkeys that like to drum on drums with their thumbs, among other things. Your little one will be entertained!
SB has loved Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb ever since he received it as a gift at the age of 6 months. At that age, I know he couldn't really understand most of the words, but the rhythm and fun rhyming text really seemed to engage him. In fact, it was the first book he actually sat through (it also helps that it is pretty short).
Some sample text: "Hand Hand Fingers Thumb. One thumb One thumb drumming on a drum. Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum." The rhyme has a great beat, and I always drum on the book or on the floor as I read to illustrate the drumming (I recently bought a toy drum for SB, which makes this even more fun to read with him). Ever since he started walking, SB has proactively brought the book to me to read, and he almost always demands that I read it a second time. It remains one of his favorite books now at age 1. I like it for its simple text, engaging rhythm, and funny illustrations. It's also good for teaching the words "monkey," "drum," "hand," "fingers," and "thumb," because they are repeated frequently.
Retail Price: $4.99
