Hand Hand Fingers Thumb
by Al Perkins
Illustrated by Eric Gurney
Hand Hand Fingers Thumb is hands down my toddler’s favourite kids’ book. I remember this was also my eldest daughter’s (who is now 4.5 years old) first children’s book, given to her by Grammy. And according to my hubby, this was HIS favourite book as a child as well!
I always read this with a kind of drumming rhythm that captures the attention and it always works! I also find that toddlers generally have limited vocabulary and this book perfectly introduces very simple objects and body parts that most kids are already familiar with. Part of the Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners, I definitely recommend this to babies and toddlers up to 3 years old.
There is no real story in the book, but the reoccuring scene is of monkeys and drums. It mostly shows illustrations of monkeys and different fun things one can do with hand, hand, fingers, thumb – my favourite of all being the monkey drumming on a drum with his thumb, print facing downward of course, cute 
“Hello Jack.”
“Hello Jake.”
Shake hands shake hands
Shake! Shake! Shake!
