In this multilayered Big, Little Concepts book for preschoolers,
explore body parts along with animals and celebrate the differences
and similarities of our wonderful bodies Bear has a
belly: A soft, round belly. Bear has a belly. I do
too! Do you have a nose like Fox, cheeks like Squirrel, and
a tongue like Frog does? In rhythmic text perfect for an energetic
read-aloud, Bear Has a Belly points out Mooseâs legs, Otterâs
back, and Duckâs feet, inviting little ones to chime in with
every body part they share in common. Bright photographs of the
animal friends are paired with images of real children of diverse
backgrounds and abilities who are joyfully engaging with that body
part.  Jane Whittingham, author of Animals Move and A
Good Day Ducks, channels her expertise as a childrenâs librarian
into yet another celebration of active preschooler fun. The
chant-along text supports pattern recognition for language learning
and reading readiness, and a closing spread of enriching
age-appropriate activities invite further exploration and
learning.  âThe format, repetition, and neutral
observations make this a refreshing title among body books for
toddlers and preschoolersâŚA welcome message of appreciation for
human (and animal!) bodies.ââKirkus Reviews âThis
entertaining activity book will work well for one-on-one sharing
and as a toddler storytime selection, since it encourages children
to shout out the refrain while pointing to the body part being
named. Due to the repetition, this title could also serve as a
beginning reader for slightly older children.ââBooklistÂ

ââŻWhat a great book about body parts for the young child!
Sharp, vivid closeup photographs of animals and kids demonstrate
that they both have ears, eyes, a nose, etc. Simple, sing-song text
invites the reader to interact with the book.ââYouth Services
