Eyes, Nose, Belly, Toes, by Krupa Bhojani Playforth is a wonderful title to familiarize babies and toddlers with their body parts. The narrator starts with the head, and talks about different body parts progressing lower down the body. I liked that the book presented the body parts in this order rather than randomly. As for the narration style, it is the only downside of this book, which is that is is a little stodgy and without a rhyme scheme. It is simplistic enough for toddlers and babies though.

The bright, contrasting illustrations featuring diverse characters is the selling point of the book. Kids and parents of all different skin colors and hair types are featured, as well as children in glasses and wheelchairs. Also, there is one parent who has a tattoo.

Overall, I think that the illustrations are simple, bright, and contrasting enough to interest (older) babies and toddlers.

The author includes a written introduction for parents that discusses how parents can change up the way they read the book to a child as they develop. She makes clear that as the child grows older, changing how the body parts are discussed can make this an educational book with re-readability. She also makes the point that parents can use this book to show their children the diversity of people in the world. Her introduction shows how great this book is for children. She recommends the age level for this being toddlers.

I would definitely recommend this book to others and I would order it for my library.

This book is perfect to read with your toddler to teach them the parts of the body. I love how interactive this book is.

Super cute book to share with the little one. The pictures are bright and engaging and the flow and cadence of the story had us smiling. We look forward to re-reading this book and adding it to our collection for baby to continue learning about the body.

Review to come closer to the release day on my blog/goodreads/other places.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I just couldn't resist this adorable looking book. Just look at that cover! So cute! 

I normally don't tend to read introductions (have read a few that were either boring, or spoiled the book which in this case wouldn't apply, but you get why I skip them normally), but thought I would do for this one, and I am happy I did. Because it was a good read. About development, toddlers, psychology, and more. 

Then the book starts with an introduction and then dives into the different parts and what they do, like your nose with which you can smell (and sneeze but that isn't mentioned, though it would have been fun). Like that your face has all sorts of extra parts. Like eyes. Or hair (which comes indeed in those colours, but also grey (when older) or in many other colours of the rainbow). And from the head we go down and down all the way to your toes! Thanks to this book I got the song Head, Shoulders, Knees in my head again. 🤣 I really liked that we didn't just go randomly through the body instead did bit by bit moving lower and lower. It was a really positive and fun book and really highlighted all the good things that your body can do. Which made me very happy, I could use some positivity in my body right now. I loved seeing the kids discovers their body and all they could do it (so much exploring, so much playing). I also loved that this book, at least at times, encouraged kids to do something. Like for instance touch your head, count your toes. So fun! 

The art was really fun, colourful, and playful, and I just love how diverse it was. We don't just get kids that are white/blonde, but all hair colours + skin colours. There are kids wearing glasses and a kid in a wheelchair. 

All in all, this is one book that I would highly recommend. Oodles of fun and I am sure toddlers/kids will love it~

Every body parts have different job to do. Just take 15-20 minutes to read aloud and explain each body parts with your kids! The illustration on this book makes my daughter follow the step shown. Such as “this is the head. Can you point to yours?” Automatically, she pointed to her head. Enjoyable read. Thanks for the ARC!

Eyes, Nose, Belly, Toes is a beautifully written and illustrated book for toddlers. It contains diverse, vibrant images that detail all of the parts of the body. I especially appreciated the representation amongst the children illustrated! The wording is simplistic enough for younger ones yet engages older ones by having them find the body part on themselves or perform actions such as high fiving. One thing I would point out is that this book is 48 pages long so quite lengthy for a 1 year old to read in one sitting. That being said, it is much more detailed and thorough than the board style books you would find on the human body.

Thank you to NetGalley and Calisto Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Absolutely adorable. Basic anatomy for very young children. Great illustrations. Explains different body parts, location and function. Fun and easy to understand. Highly recommend.

I received an advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

A charming book with colorful illustrations designed to help toddlers learn body parts and their use. Recommended!

This is an arc review from NetGalley

This is such a cute book! I plan to buy it for my friends with young children!

Pros:
- Diverse character representation
- Encouraging children to learn about their body
- Encouraging children to use and move their body safely
- Beautiful, fun, and eye-catching illustrations

Cons:
- The flow of the writing is a little stiff compared to what you would expect in a children's book in a few sections.

If you are looking for a picture book to label the parts of the body for a toddler, then Eyes, Nose, Belly, Toes by Krupa Bhojani Playforth might be what you are looking for. This book labels our body parts and explains what they do. It can be simplified for a younger child to simply labeling the body parts or all the text can be read to fuel a slightly older child’s curiosity. The illustrations are simple, engaging, and easy to understand. They show diverse groups of children including those of different ethnic backgrounds and abilities. This is a feature that I loved, given it is uncommon for children to see other children pictured in wheelchairs. I definitely think this is a good book to use in reviewing the names of body parts and what we can do with them. I am voluntarily submitting this honest review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and Callisto Publishing, Callisto Kids.

This book is colorful with many diverse pictures. I appreciate the use of many different ethnicities. The text is a bit long for a 1 year old but could easily be broken up into separate reading sessions. It goes over the body parts a child should be learning in an approachable way.

A perfect board book for toddlers to learn about different body parts and what their purpose is! Cute illustrations, simple explanations, and fun prompts to try out different movements and senses that are a part of us. Looking forward to this being out, we're always in need of board books that are engaging and fun to learn from! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early review copy, all opinions are my own.

This reminds me a lot of the Karen Katz books, "Where Is Baby's Belly Button" and others. The style of drawing is very similar. I'm not sure how helpful the text is. What I like better about the Katz books is the interactive lift-the-flap style.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

This was such a great book to teach toddlers about their body parts! I loved how beautiful the art was and how diverse the children shown were. I’ll definitely be purchasing this for my nieces and nephews.

I've been looking for a good body book. This one is perfect for us and I plan on buying a hard copy edition. A lot of the ones I've seen are older and the colours are dull. This book has bright illustrations and shows body parts in action. I understand the lure of actual pictures of children for body books; I own Making Faces and I love it. But this one kept my almost 10-month-old engaged. I like that there are prompts to use your body in the book, like wiggle your toes, and explanations of what your body can do, like bend your knees to jump. I'd recommend it for parents who want a fun and charming book to read with their toddlers.

Thank you, Callisto Publishing, for providing me with an ARC.

This book hits all the right notes for toddlers ages 1-3 learning about body parts. The charming illustrations are full color accompanied by simple text. Read this book to a toddler and encourage them to point to their own body parts.

This book is a wonderful and informative book demonstrating various parts of our body. I believe this book will be necessary for young children in learning and identifying their body parts. Illustrations were beautiful too.

This was such a wonderful book with vibrant, colorful illustrations. This book will be extremely helpful to younger children for them to learn about the names of the various parts of their bodies and its functions. It is a lovely and useful book in my opinion. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the advanced copy of Eyes, Nose, Belly, Toes

As a mom of a toddler and educator I feel like this is a perfect book for young curious minds. I love the introduction by the author explaining why the author wrote the book and then telling us how to use the book now and when toddlers start getting older. I love the inclusivity of the book and glad that my son can see children of all colors/shapes/sizes in the illustrations.

Very suitable look at the body and its parts – well, the externally visible ones at least. We start with the head, and then find out what all the sense organs and so on do, then see the joints of the arm, followed by the belly and the back, and so on down to the toes. This is for an audience that can not do too much other than hold this book, and so just pointing to the right body parts will be benefit enough at first, before perhaps as suggested we cover the same ground in more detail and with more activity later in life. The goal is also to spread a touch of kinship amongst humans, so our hair colour is proven to not matter, and while this pretends we all have two of everything (and ten fingers, which is very thumbist) it's not been given a single chance to confuse any issues. As simplistic as any first lesson should be, and as well-drawn as you'd expect from a quality item for this young an audience. A strong four stars.
