The Nose Book

The Nose Book (Bright & Early Books for Beginning Beginners) by Al Perkins (Author), Roy McKie (Illustrator)

This is by the same group that wrote "Hand Hand Fingers Thumb" It has some nice rhythm and drawings, but the story about noses is not as appealing.

Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb

Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins (Author), Eric Gurney (Illustrator)

Monkeys have hands with fingers and thumbs that they use to drum and perform other tasks. The story utilizes the sounds to construct a word symphony. There is rhythm, rhyme and you can't help but crescendo up to the climax. The length is just right. The pictures work well. The book is a great fun to read.
