A gorgeous celebration of families, this book calls irresistibly for its audience to join in, pressing noses, whispering in ears, kissing cheeky cheeks! Each double page takes a different bit of the body – hands, feet, tummy – and shows a family playing physical games, tickling, peek-a-boo, and more, the little child in each laughing away.
How could you not participate? The illustrations are something special too, expressive faces catching our attention, bold blocks of colour, making everything zing, the families depicted of every type and make up. What a way to teach children the names of their body parts, and to demonstrate family love.
A twist on body books for babies, The Nose, Toes and Tummy Book introduces body parts to toddlers, encouraging interaction and play together.

A diversely illustrated and interactive book from Waterstones Children’s Book Prize winner Sally Nicholls that invites families to play along - beeping noses, sniffing sweet-smelling baby toes and gobbling up bellies! With bold illustrations from rising talent Gosia Herba.
