Love You Head to Toe

Synopsis: “Pairing creative rhyming similes with cut-paper collage art, Love You Head to Toe is an adorable book that compares newborn babies to baby animals on every page. Bright, playful illustrations show a different baby and a different species of animal, both engaged in similar behavior: babies stretch their limbs like sea stars, splash in the water like ducklings, toddle around like bear cubs, and fill their chubby cheeks like chipmunks. 

Action verbs on each page give the book energy and movement and reflect the varied activities of a baby’s day, with key elements like mealtime, bath time, and bedtime in chronological order. Babies and caregivers of a wide range of ethnicities are represented in this heartwarming read-aloud designed to show little ones how much they are cherished and loved.”

Review: This books is a sweet read! It’s perfect for babies and toddlers about all the reasons why families love them so much. I loved the diversity of this book. Each baby was illustrated a little differently with a variety of skin colors, eyes, hair etc. Plus, both moms and dads shown on the page participating in the baby’s life.

How can you go wrong with sweet, rhyming stanzas filled with animals and action verbs? The answer is – you can’t. This book is not too long, not too short and is absolutely adorable both in text and in illustrations. This is a must-read for families with little ones.
