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!

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

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. PreS—"There was one little baby/who was born far away./And another who was born/on the very next day./And both of these babies,/as everyone knows,/had ten little fingers/and ten little toes." So opens this nearly perfect picture book. Fox's simple text lists a variety of pairs of babies, all with the refrain listing the requisite number of digits, and finally ending with the narrator's baby, who is "truly divine" and has fingers, toes, "and three little kisses/on the tip of its nose." Oxenbury's signature multicultural babies people the pages, gathering together and increasing by twos as each pair is introduced. They are distinctive in dress and personality and appear on primarily white backgrounds. The single misstep appears in the picture of the baby who was "born on the ice." The child, who looks to be from Northern Asia or perhaps an Inuit, stands next to a penguin. However, this minor jarring placement does not detract enough from the otherwise ideal marriage of text and artwork to prevent the book from being a first purchase. Whether shared one-on-one or in storytimes, where the large trim size and big, clear images will carry perfectly, this selection is sure to be a hit.—Amy Lilien-Harper, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT

From Booklist

*Starred Review* 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. The first lines set up the text’s repetition and rhythm: “There was one little baby who was born far away. And another who was born on the very next day. And both of these babies, as everyone knows, had ten little fingers and ten little toes.” The subsequent spreads follow the same theme in similarly bouncing, rhyming lines: babies around the world may be different (one baby is born near ice, another in a desert tent), but the refrain of each baby’s 10 fingers and toes reminds us of what we all share. Oxenbury’s spare pencil-and-watercolor pictures, set against pure white pages, zero in on pudgy little hands and feet, offering many interactive opportunities for young viewers to point and count. Clusters of adorable multicultural 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. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Gillian Engberg

I sent this book to my niece for her one-year-old little boy. She told me that he really gets into it. I have a feeling she tweeks his fingers and toes and makes him laugh ad she reads it to him. Makes me smile.

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.

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

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.
