Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-This lift-the-flap adventure is an introduction to various body parts, with fingers behind mittens, toes inside boots, two ears under a hat, etc. A multicultural crew of children with playful expressions on their faces is dressed in jeans, a coat, even sunglasses decorated in bright polka-dotted, striped, and flowery patterns; colors include hot pink, sunshine yellow, spring green, and ruby red. A cheerful board book to use with lapsit and toddler storytimes.

This review is from: Toes, Ears, & Nose! A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book)

Similar to Karen Katz' 'Where is Baby's Belly Button', 'Toes, Ears & Nose' is a delightful book that allows little ones to 'find' noses, toes and tummies, this time by lifting flaps in a 'peek-a-boo' kind of way. My 14 month old enjoys this book, especially now since we are mastering where noses and toes are on ourselves. Very sweet indeed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations, but flimsy flaps, February 22, 2005

This review is from: Toes, Ears, & Nose! A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book)

My son really loves this book with its colorful pictures, but I need to keep it out of his hands if I want the flaps to stay put.

Each page has a sentence, the first part is on the page and the last part is on the cardboard flap when you lift it. For example, "In my boots I've got" is written on the page. You lift up the cardboard boot flap and it says, "toes" and toes are revealed on the page. The flaps are made of very thin cardboard and bend or get folded easily. Also, they are not glued on very securely. A small portion is adhered to the page and they can easily be ripped off. If this happens, it's still a good book to look at, but the last part of the sentence has disappeared with the flap.

This book is for babies to look at, but not touch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but..., February 5, 2004

This review is from: Toes, Ears, & Nose! A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book)

My ten month old loves his Karen Katz books (we have four of them). He loves to lift the flaps as we go, but sometimes he gets excited and tears them right off -- the flaps are paper thin in this book. It seems like we're always repairing them. But that's the only downside...the illustrations are colorful and we always touch his nose when we get to the nose page and his ears, etc and he giggles. They're very cute books. I just wish they were sturdier.
