This review is from: Talk to the Hands: Anthony's Days Shopping with Mom and Dad (Paperback)

The premise of a little boy talking to his hands and pretending that they respond back isn't entirely unique but the story picks up enough to keep you interested in the antics of little Anthony as he shops at the mall with his parents. Each chapter flawlessly connects well to the next so that you don't get lost in any translations. The characters in this story are added in well and are believeable...in a zany sort of way. Anthony's parents are very patient with him because they are well aware of his tendancy to conjure up his sidekick buddies, Lefty and Righty, at a moments notice. The author has even added Anthony's favorite cartoon within the story...very innovative.

I recommend this book, it's charmingly humorous and shows the patience one must have with children.

This review is from: Talk to the Hands: Anthony's Days Shopping with Mom and Dad (Paperback)

I found this book to be a wonderful read and Brooks is to be commended! It is not often that African-American children can pick up a book and read about themselves, especially as told by an African-American male. Talk To The Hands: Anthony's Days Shopping With Mom and Dad, is an excellent teaching tool. I would suggest that all households with small children obtain a copy of this book. Children can learn about expression and creativity, just by reading "Talk To The Hands: Anthony's Days Shopping With Mom and Dad."

I especially liked the way Anthony named his hands "Righty" and "Lefty."

This story was cute, funny and whimsically clever. It is best read to children while using the reader's hands when 'Lefty' and 'Righty' voice their opinions on various matters pertaining to Anthony's wanderings.

The author made me chuckle time and again and I could not put it down.
