Lots of fun!

I never in a million years would have guessed this would be both my kids favorite book. I have read this book to them hundreds of times and they still love it. Something about toes is just plain fun!

Wiggly Fun!

Simple rhyming text celebrates every potential action of wiggly toes, as young African-American children play their way through the pages. The brief line form consists of one present-tense verb paired with the word "toes", and with the imagination of a young listener the poem can continue long after the reader is finished, by using the simple combination of action and "toes".

Children and adults alike can relate to having "Busy Toes"

In the case of "Busy Toes", you sure can tell a book by its cover! The delightful cover illustration of a little girl on her toes invites you to turn the pages with your fingers (or toes). Simple, say-it-all, words accompany each rich illustration of a child manipulating his/her toes. The rainbow of faces reminds us of the wonderful diversity of our world and delight in moving toes serves as a common bond. The authors and illustrator have created a book that will bring a smile to a child and adult alike......and the desire to wiggle your toes!
