Ten Tiny Toes

by Todd Tarpley

Marc Tolon Brown (Illustrator)

Into the world came ten tiny toes,
a hundred times sweeter than one could suppose....

Ten Tiny Toes is a celebration of the tremendous joy of a new baby entering the world. Sweet rhyming text follows the unbreakable bond of love that guides a child throughout each big "step" in his or her life. From little toes you want to eat right up to bigger feet that like to run around and play, and eventually to grown children raising little ones of their own, each page gives readers a heartfelt glimpse into the future or down memory lane. A perfect way for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to celebrate new babies, growing toddlers, and children who aren't quite so little anymore.

Beloved illustrator Marc Brown's adorable collage illustrations bring Todd Tarpley's sweet rhyming text to life in this book that's the perfect gift for baby showers, graduation, Mother's and Father's Day, and anyone eager to celebrate all the wonderful moments in their child's life.

This is a fabulous picture book and a great one to set aside for gift giving for that new baby, adopted or natural. It's all about those ten tiny toes and how special they are. The imagery is fabulous. The card cuts used to make the images really appear 3D and I expect to be able to put a fingernail behind them, but it's all an illusion captured extremely well in the generation of this book. I haven't met a book by Todd Tarpley before, but grew up as a child watching Arthur on PBS so Marc Brown has a fan in me. I'm delighted to have this book to share with my daughters. My preschooler loves it and points out so many things on each page. This would also make a great board book, although with smaller pages you might lose a bit of the enchantment with the photos, but I'd still buy a copy and then my toddler could enjoy it as well.

*Thanks to LB Kids for providing a copy for review.*
