Let's Look at Hands
Simona Sideri, Sheilagh Noble
Hardcover
(Zero to Ten Childrens Books, Oct. 1, 2002)
This brightly illustrated, engaging series presents both human and animal bodies, prompting children to compare and contrast them. Each page spread features children examining the animals' "hands and feet" and comparing them with their own, encouraging them to think about how their own bodies work and how animals' bodies are modified and equipped to help them survive in their natural habitat. Kids learn how a camel has special toes for walking on sand, how a seal uses its flippers to swim, and why moles have special paws-to hunt and shovel. The skills and diversity of all living creatures are celebrated.
