Review
and#8220;From hair to tummies to toes and everything in between, Davickand#8217;s peppy ode to all our parts successfully uses humor and a little age-appropriate information to deliver its energetic message about celebrating the bodies weand#8217;ve got. The infectious rhymes are well matched by clean, friendly illustrations, which feature large ice-cream-colored pages with wide-eyed, smiling kids front and center. Both the picturesand#8217; lack of background and the simple, bouncy text make this ideal for group sharingand#8212;though young listeners might find it hard to keep still. At times Davick seems to be encouraging kids to join in.and#8221;
