Books like Horns to Toes and in Between
By Sandra Boynton
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. Bouncy, silly, and full of Boynton's signature googly-eyed charm.
Four tiny books in one: alligators march through the alphabet, a boy named Johnny counts his ever-growing pile of visitors, a boy named Pierre refuses to care about anything, and a hungry someone eats chicken soup with rice in every month of the year.
A boy tours his own house room by room, discovering odd made-up creatures hiding in ordinary spots — a Wocket in his pocket, a Vug under his rug, a Yeps on the steps.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A garden fills up with counting fun as a mole digs a hole, parrots pull up carrots, bears pick pears, and bees prune trees with tiny shears — one busy number at a time.
A band of monkeys drums, hums, and dances through a bouncy rhyme, inviting little ones to find their own hands, fingers, and thumbs along the way.
A single yellow dot invites the reader to press it, tap it, and tilt the book — and with each turn of the page, the dots multiply, scatter, and change color right before your eyes.
All the letters of the alphabet race each other up a coconut tree, chanting chicka chicka boom boom, until so many pile on that the whole tree tumbles them down.
A girl named Sally travels to town walking backward and upside down, picking up a silly pig, a silly dog, and other funny friends who join her topsy-turvy parade.
A team of kid inventors heads to the zoo armed with zany traps and rhyming plans, determined to outsmart and catch the rainbow-maned unicorn.
Using just five words - apple, pear, orange, bear, and there - a bear juggles, poses, and transforms across each page in playful combinations of color and shape.
A little witch determined to save her town's Halloween parade from rain uses her magic to change the storm — first to cats and dogs, then hats and clogs, then bats and frogs.
