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.

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.

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.

All of Karen's books are beautifully illustrated with developmentally appropriate subject matter. Her books are the ones my toddler seems to love best right now. They are just the right length and allow the interaction of a young child to lift up the flaps. Every day we read at least 2 little books (one at bedtime and one after lunch. I'd like to also recommend Sue Boyton's books...one of our favorites is "MOO, BAA, LA,LA,LA" For positive discipline tips for parents with toddlers we also recommend THE POCKET PARENT.

Cute book- great illustrations. My 17mo. old daughter and 6 mo. old son both enjoy this book. BUT, the flaps are really flimsy. My daughter, who *never* tears pages in books has torn off several of the flaps by mistake-
This book was a disappointment. Don't waste your money- it will be ruined in no time.

I have bought several Karen Katz books over the last year for our granddaughter.She enjoys Where's Baby's Bellybutton,but Toes,Ears,&Nose is not as good.Many of the flaps are very small and thin and do rip easily.Earmuffs?How many kids wear earmuffs?Under my coat is my back?True,but also a shirt under the coat.This book should have been written better than this.

My husband and I wanted to get our daughter a book on body parts when she turned a year; she's now 18 months, and this is the one we decided on. We liked Where is Baby's Belly Button,but chose this one because along with nose, eyes, ears it has different parts such as teeth, back, knee. She loves this book. She loves lifting the flaps and gets into it so much that she pulled off one of the flaps because she was so excited. It has helped in teaching her different body parts. She loves to point to her nose, knee, etc. while we read the story to her. I highly recommend this book!

We gave this to my 1 year old daughter for her birthday. It quickly became her favorite read. More importantly, peeking behind the flaps often helped her learn to identify everything from her belly button to her nose. The book has taken a beating (a 1 year old is not the gentlest of flap lifters after all) but it's still a frequent part of our storytime. This is the second book with similar illustrations (Grandma and Me being the other) that my daughter owns and she loves them both. Can't go wrong with them!

I bought Karen Katz's 'Where is Baby's Belly Button' book which we loved as a family. So, I was deeply disappointed when I bought a couple months later, Toes, Ears, & Nose. This book is also a lift the flap book but the flaps rip SO easily. My son who has not yet ripped Where is Baby's Belly Button, ripped this one within the first day of getting it. The problem is, alot of the flaps are too small! The mittens, earmuffs, hands and sunglass flaps are so small that they tear much more easily than the bigger flaps of the other book. Dont waste your money!

We bought this book after "where is baby's belly button?" was such a big hit in our house. we were disappointed. the idea is nice like the button book but with additional body parts. however, the flaps are smaller, making them harder to grasp, and are much easier to remove from the page. My son has looked at the button version many times with no real distruction but ruined several pages at first "read" of this book. this book is deinfitely made for older children.
