A collection of fingerplays assembled by the author of the Arthur series. Brown selected these rhymes from over 350 poems he sorted through as he was preparing to write this book. He then assigned hand movements to each line and illustrated each page with inspiration from some of the many homes he's lived in during his lifetime.
Subjects range from seasons/holidays to books and animals. Some are familiar to me, but most of the poems collected here are new to me.

Another great book from Marc Brown. This book had many different old and more recent rhymes. I loved how creative the pictures were and how most of the pictures covered the whole page. The children will enjoy this book because they should remember some of the rhymes. However, some of the rhymes get switched up a bit and I think that keeps their attention.

This is a collection of fingerplays. There are a few for several different seasons. It does have Halloween and a church one but other than that there are a few good ones you could use in the classroom.
Great use of signs listed on for words on each page.

My little kids 5 and under absolutely love this book! It also has sign language off to the side. They will ask you to read it to them over and over again!
This is a book of various hand rhymes. The finger motions are clearly illustrated.
It's hard to learn the hand actions while holding the book.
