'Nothing is sweeter, as everyone knows, than tiny baby fingers and chubby baby toes!' With Mem Fox's gently rhyming text illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, best loved as the illustrator of the classic nursery join-in picture book 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt', this is an essential book for baby playtime - and the perfect gift for a new arrival!
Nothing is sweeter or brings more joy than tiny baby fingers and chubby baby toes! All over the world, babies are different. Yet in some ways they are very much the same: each one has ten little fingers and ten little toes - to play with, to tickle, and to wave. This book is suitable for baby playtime.
Every day all over the world, children are laughing and crying, playing and learning, eating and sleeping. They may not look the same. But inside, they are alike. This book celebrates children, whoever they are.
Do ogres snore? Do pirates have blankies? Do fairies suck their thumbs? We may never know the answers to these questions. But if we're lucky - and very observant - we might be able to catch a glimpse of some fantastic creatures, all fast asleep.
Here is the blue sheep, and here is the red sheep. Here is the bath sheep, and here is the bed sheep. But where is the green sheep? Mem Fox and Judy Horacek take you on a wildly wonderful adventure in their rollicking search for the green sheep.
