MY REVIEW:
I was absolutely enchanted by this book, as were my children, and I thought it was wonderful how it went into different body parts and yet the rhyming flowed so well, the illustrations are fantastic and the kids loved it. It was so fun to read that I will be doing it repeatedly :-) A great gift idea and addition to your family library!
