Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins (1998, Hardcover, Board)

I loved the fact that it was mailed out to me quickly, and the price for it was reasonable. Dr. Suess has always been a favorite in our family!

This is a fun book for tottlers. It teaches about fingers and stuff but it is a joy to read with a child because you can interact with them--tickling them and having a ball! It has cute illustrations and you'll laugh throughout this short book.

This was the first time I used this web site and was extrememely please with the price, service and the packaging. Thank you. S

Loved this book when I was a little kid, now I read it to my kid.

He smiles every time he sees it!

Short book, classic pictures with brightly colored backgrounds, and little kids just love the rhythmic/rhyming verses:

Hand hand fingers thumb/
Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum!
One thumb one thumb drumming on a drum.
Drum drum drum drum drum drum drum.

love the size for travel - also can wipe off washable crayon marks !!!!!!
Made our own "little drum" great car seat toy.

This book is great to read to children as the words have a rhymic rhyme pattern in a drum beat. I read it yesterday to a small group and had them "drum" on the table to the beat of the monkeys drumming in the book. They thoroughly enjoyed it, as my own children did. I love the book, but was looking for the larger, regular size book as I'm a teacher. Now I know after buying the item, the larger size has a white background cover, and the small board book a yellow one. It still can be used and is durable to let the preschool children look at for a library or personal use, but bigger ones are better to use in teaching so children can see pictures.

This is an excellent children's book. I remember this book from when I was a small child. I am now 32 years old with 6 children of my own! All of my children have loved this book. The reason I purchased a new one is, our other one is worn out!! After all these years, the pages have come loose.
Even my 17 month old daughter says the DUM DITTY DUM DITTY DUM DUM DUM part it is so cute. I enjoy reading this book, which is usually every other day. :)

I love the original of this book (1969 edition). However I didn't realize that this edition is a board book and is missing about six of the pages that are in the original. And it just happens that some of those pages are mine and my daughter's favories. Unless you are buying this book for a baby and need the durability of a board book, I would buy the original hardcover version.
