Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
"The first finger said,
“Hey! My name is rather dumb,
For, I am not, in truth, a finger,
I am, in fact, a thumb!”
Finger Rhymes is a book of twelve illustrated finger rhymes which together teach the first five cardinal and ordinal numbers both ascending and descending. Each rhyme has a different theme with its own sequence of actions to perform. An interactive numeracy resource for children, ages 0-5.
The rhymes are engaging and also fun. The book invites kids to play along using their own fingers and in doing so they will learn the numbers from 1-5. The poems are very like those of Mother Goose and the gentle, muted illustrations are beautifully executed... each a masterpiece in itself.
Poems include: Finger Race, Playground Fingers, Weather Fingers, Seaside Fingers, Fireworks Fingers and Christmas Fingers, just to cite a few. It's a perfect book to share together and delight in. "Finger Rhymes" would be a wonderful addition to any preschool setting whether it be home, library, or school.
Other books by the author to check out are:
* Time to Rhyme
* Order! Order!
* The Grumpy Crocodile
* Number Shapes
* Two Fat Cows
* When Bees Flew in for Breakfast
* It's a Funny Old World
All Nigel Tetley books are highly recommended and would make wonderful Christmas gift.
