My mom gave me this book from my childhood box the other day and while I don’t necessarily remember it much, it must’ve had an impact on my mom because she kept it all these years and while I flipped thru it, reading it to my little guy. I could tell that this short little easy to remember rhyme scheming book, could really help him learn his little growing body parts and who knows maybe it helped me learn mine way back in the day.

This is a cute introductory book to different body parts for little ones. It also, teaches the senses.

The sentences in this book are short and simple, so this book is great for small infants, and is such a good beginning learner book.

I will probably re-read this book to my infant, as he grows to teach him his senses and certain body parts such as, nose, mouth, ears, etc.

Simple and cute story to help learn some basic body parts 🤗

My one-year-old loves this book. He’s handed it to me about five times in the past three days to read it to him, and I’ve heard my husband reading it too. Each spread focuses on a different body part, and part of the fun of reading the book is pointing out those body parts on ourselves, especially the nose and mouth.

A gift from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. This is a fun introduction to learning about the parts of our bodies. It’s short and has cute illustrations. Plus chubby babies are always a win.

Dolly Parton treated us to this book as part of her building literacy program called Imagination Library. This is a bit ironic since the book builds absolutely no imagination. Instead, it’s all about anatomy and helps us identify different parts of our bodies and what we do with them. (Don’t worry, it’s G-rated.) The book was free; that was the best part and earned this dud an extra star.

Moral: You should be able to identify body parts.

Length: Short and sweet, unlike many noses.

Favorite Line: “Your mouth tastes a cookie.”

Overall impression: Another “no plot” book for the developing brain. Granted, knowing your eyes from your ears is a positive skill. But can we follow a story while we learn? It’s just lazy to say your eyes see a butterfly while your ears hear a barking dog and not relate them to anything. I think this was the book that inspired some of the nonsense Sandra Boynton passes off as children’s literature.

Upon her birth, I signed my child up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Literacy Program where a child from birth to age 5 will get a free book every month. My child's February book arrived and I read it to her and pointed all the different body parts. She was 5 months old at the time so I am not sure if she knew what was going on but I really love how this book directed me and helped me guide her to point out different parts of her body and it also teaches her the senses like how her nose can smell the flowers.

We got this for free from the fantastic Dolly Parton reading program & this is just one of many I would've missed without the program. I never read this in childhood so I didn't have a connection there. The cover art wouldn't have grabbed my attention either. However, it is a great book to teach body parts that my son really enjoys. When he hands it to me to read, he scrunches up his nose and breathes really hard because he knows it has to do with the nose so guess it must be working!

I, well actually my son received this book as part of Dolly Parton’s literacy program. He gets a book every month and I’m only now catching up on the books we have received since his birth. This is super cute and we had fun reading together and pointing out where the body parts were in the book and for him! He giggled a lot throughout the book.

We got this one from Dolly. Nice, simple phrases. The illustration feels dated/classic. Decent book.

E def did not give AFFFFF about this one. I think he was evaded for one or two pages and then I lost him. 4/10 from E

Straightforward pattern of "where is X body part?" then a description of what that body part (nose, mouth, eyes, ears, tummy, knees, feet, hands) can do. The illustrations of diverse babies are cheerful.

Four stars because the smol loved pointing to her nose, kicking her feet, etc.

[Leigh Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book would be wonderful for working with children on where different body parts are (eyes, ears, nose). The pictures are nice and the writing is simple for them to understand.

This month's book from Auntie Doll (Imagination Library)! Very interactive with touch-your-nose/mouth/knee etc. and a variety of babies.

Our monthly Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library book. Love pointing out the body parts so little man can start learning.

[Kelly Anderson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another one to shelve under "Books I've read 100 times"

So simple, but a great way to practice body part identification.
