Chronicle Concering Books Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb

After a hiatus, Neo is back to do some reading aloud. He’s chosen some of the ‘Seuss-themed’ books, helping him with his rhyming words and also allowing him to be a tad silly. This book, quite popular in its own right, has a handful of monkeys working on drumming and humming while using their fingers and thumbs. While there is no real theme, the story builds with more activities and more monkeys, until a million or so are out and making what can only be presumed to be a massive racket. Neo loved the building narrative and the silliness of those monkeys, which kept his attention as he read to me. He thinks this is a great book for children who are learning to read but are “not ready to be totally serious”.

Column Containing Books Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb

I actually really enjoy this book. Its rhyming is fun, repetitive and catchy and a little bit silly which all means my son has loved it ever since I started reading it to him (probably when he was about 6 months old) and aged four he still loves it (and knows it off by heart).The reason it gets such a low rating is because the pictures, although great, are obviously of chimpanzees. Chimpanzees are not monkeys they are apes.It annoys me every time I read it. I do not believe in the primate nested

This book gets bonus points for being my son's first favorite book (granted, he was all of 12 months old at the time). This tome's got rhythm, though--I'll give it that...

Brief summary - A monkey and his pals use his hands fingers and thumb to drumAnnotation - This book has a great amount of repetition and introduces body parts.Age appropriateness 3-8 yearsConnection to six early literacy skills Vocabulary - This is a good way to introduce body parts.Opinion - This is an average story but kids might like the visuals with the many monkeys drumming.

First sentence: Hand hand fingers thumb. One thumb one thumb drumming on a drum. One hand two hands drumming on a drum. Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum. Premise/plot: What starts out as one monkey joyfully drumming ends with millions of monkeys jamming away on their drums. Perkins' book is a jazzy treat that delights readers old and new. Favorite quotes: "Hello Jack." "Hello Jake." Shake hands shake hands. Shake! Shake! Shake!Hand in hand more monkeys come. Many more fingers. Many more thumbs.

Another beginning book about monkeys and drums and hands. The monkeys are funny here and got laughs out of the kids. It was a fun book had by all. The nephew gave this 4 stars; the niece would not read it.

This book deserves 5 stars just from the sentimental value. It was one of two books that I bought for my daughter while she was in the womb and it was the very first book for her to become infatuated with.It is a very simple book, with a great rhythm. It's about drumming and the words perfectly mimic drumming. For target ages, my daughter still loves it and she is 4 but she started liking it pretty much immediately after birth. So, this is a great first book.

We read this over and over, sometimes with our drum and tambourine and sometimes without. Great rhythm!
