From Head to Toe, By Eric Carle


Carle is great at writing interactive books that kids can relate to and enjoy. This is definitely the case with the book: From Head to Toe. In this catchy rhythmic book, different animals demonstrate movements and the catch line asks the listeners, "Can you do it?" The interactive nature of the book engages children's voices and bodies. I imagine reading this book with kindergarten or first graders as an on-your-feet exercise. It would be great for introducing young elementary kids to different parts of the body, or just for getting the kids out of their desks and moving. Another area this book addresses is building self-confidence.
