Horns to Toes and in Between
By Sandra Boynton
The Story
A trio of friendly horned monsters wiggle through their own bodies from horns to toes, naming eyes, ears, nose, and more while breaking into a silly dance.
Why It's Special
For the toddler who points at their own nose and belly and waits for someone to name it back, this one turns body parts into a dance party.
- Big idea: Learning your own body is something to celebrate, not just memorize.
