From two of the most gifted picture-book creators of our time, here is a celebration of baby fingers, baby toes, and the joy they—and the babies they belong to—bring to everyone, everywhere, all over the world!

This is a gorgeously simple picture book for very young children, and once you finish the rhythmic, rhyming text, all you’ll want to do is go back to the beginning . . . and read it again! This padded board book is perfect for the little ones.

The luminous watercolor illustrations of these roly-poly little ones from a variety of backgrounds are adorable, quirky, and true to life, right down to the wrinkles, dimples, and pudges in their completely squishable arms, legs, and tummies.

As everyone knows, nothing is sweeter than stubby baby fingers and chubby baby toes. This is a counting book for little ones and the grown-ups around them to share and chant along to,

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This gently lilting read-aloud is just right for bedtime, or anytime your child could use a little extra comfort. You’ll go ga-ga yourself over the adorable watercolors of babies around the world." — Parenting, September 2008

"Put two titans of kids' books together for the first time, and what do you get (besides the urge to shout, "What took you so long?")? The answer: an instant classic . . . there's real magic at work here." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes gently presents--but never preaches--a satisfying lesson about humanity and international harmony." — Book Page

"A standout for its beautiful simplicity, this picture-book collaboration between Fox and Oxenbury aims a message of diversity and tolerance at very young children. . . . Clusters of adorable mulitcultural babies from around the world toddle across the pages until just one child receives three kisses on the nose from her loving mom, a sweet gesture that parents will want to act out with their own children. A gentle, joyous offering." — Booklist (starred review)

"Fox's lilting verse just has to be read aloud, and preschoolers will quickly pick up on and join in on the anticipated refrain. Oxenbury's spacious illustrations, featuring her irresistible round-headed tots (and, of course, plenty of chubby baby digits), emphasize the babies' differences and will engage even the youngest listeners in the on-page action." — Horn Book (starred review)

"In 'Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes,' two beloved picture-book creators — the storyteller Mem Fox and the artist Helen Oxenbury — merge their talents in a winsome look at babies around the world." — New York Times Book Review

"A witty and winsome look at babies around the world that has a toe-tapping refrain: the words sound easy and familiar, as though they have been handed down to children forever. And the story ends with a pitch-perfect moment: one little baby who is 'mine, all mine.' "--Notable Children's Books of 2008 — New York Times Book Review

"'Light as air and sweet as honey' might be a way to describe this delectable confection about babies, here, there and everywhere." — The Globe and Mail

Young children like to look at pictures of babies. I like that the babies were from different countries, adding diversity into the book. Yet pointing out they are all similar and have ten fingers & ten toes. Delightful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful. Important.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022

A wonderful read with our grandchild. We love exploring the sweet pictures and the musical rhythm of the words. It is not a storybook. It is not a civics lesson. What is is an engaging introduction to the truth that, with all that may appear different about us, we are all fundamentally alike.

Some reviewers object, arguing that not everyone does have 10 fingers and 10 toes, feeling the book should cover all there is to say instead of its more important role as a starting point for conversations with little ones. Not that readers are compelled to stick to the script. (You want to add something? Go for it!)

I do, though, at the adorable finish. When read to our personal little ones, they’re fully aware the words are aimed specifically at them.

So: a book aimed at little ones—as they get to know the world—that delights in the ways children can be different, while recognizing the fundamental ways in which we’re alike, and concludes with words that bring home the love it’s been about all along. That’s an awful lot for a book to do, and it does so beautifully.

PRO:
Super cute book, it was way bigger than most of our board books. Only a few pages with limited words, well illustrated and the book is tall. Well put together, seems very sturdy. My little one loves having it read to them. It has a nice cadence. The book also shows diverse kids. I get that some kids do not have
CON:
My one and only beef is the end verse. (Paraphrasing from memory here) "The next baby born was truly divine. A sweet little child that was mine all mine, and this little child as everyone knows has ten little fingers, ten little toes and three little kisses on ITS nose." Why wouldn't you say "THEIR?" It should read "on the tip of their nose." That part is always weird to me. I just change it when I read out loud. If you don't know the gender or trying to be gender neutral you say THEIR/THEM not it/its. That's basic English. "It" is a non-living object...

I think this is a lovely introduction to diversity. Babies from all over the world, beautifully illustrated, all come together in celebration of their commonality- 10 little fingers and 10 little toes. I’ve given and read this book to many babies and toddlers and they have all enjoyed it.

I am an infant development specialist and I always buy this book as a gift for a new baby. Everything about it is charming; from the illustrations to the accessibility for little hands, to the lyrical prose that promotes interaction between baby and parents. The perfect book for our little ones.

Compré varias veces este libro, primero para mi bebé y luego para regalar. Esta es la mejor edición que he conseguido porque tiene tapa dura acolchada y hojas de pasta de cartón. El tamaño también es el ideal, porque tengo la edición de tapa dura y páginas de papel y es muy grande y delicado para niños pequeños.

Es un libro muy bonito para bebés y niños pequeños, se lee con un ritmo muy agradable por las rimas y las repeticiones de frases. Las ilustraciones son muy delicadas y acompañan perfectamente el tono de la lectura.

Che sia in italiano o che sia in inglese (versione originale) questo libro per me è un must have da leggere ai neonati e da usare nel tempo come libro per capire che tutti i bambini del mondo, ovunque nascano, qualsiasi sia il colore della loro pelle o i loro usi hanno 10 dita delle mani e 10 dita dei piedi quindi sono tutti uguali. Testo Basato sulla ripetitività come a creare una canzoncina che piace molto. Libro cartonato con copertina imbottita. Consigliatissimo e con un inglese davvero base alla portata di tutti.
