5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's favorite Boynton September 16, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought _Horns to Toes_ for our daughter when she was nine months old, and it quickly became a favorite. This book has a catchy rhyme, which makes it very easy to memorize, so we can recite it on demand no matter where we are (it was so popular when I recited it to the kids at daycare, I had to teach it to her teachers!). We combined the words with gestures, and our daughter learned her body parts before she was a year old. She is now 16-months and still enjoys "dancing" to the words.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a classic, but still fun August 10, 2000

By "nymom"

Format:Board book

This book is about our equipment: eyes, arms, teeth, backs, tails, etc. As we read this book, my daughter looks for the appropriate items on herself, her dolls, and sometimes me! After she figures out that we don't have those big tails, she's done with this. The pictures are cute, the rhyme scheme works, but its hit or miss.

This author has a lot of different books that appeal to a lot of different kids, so if this doesn't sound like something new or right for you, keep looking -- there's probably a perfect Boynton book for your child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Boynton! March 18, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Board book

This, like Boyton's other books, is one of my daughter's favorites. The rhymes are catchy and easy to read, and my daughter loves pointing to each of her body parts. Better for kids 1-1/2 to 2.
