Industry Reviews

This inviting offering provides youngsters with an almost sensory experience in which they can appreciate how their hands help them to explore and interact with their world. --School Library Journal In HANDS CAN by Cheryl Villis Hudson, photos by John-Francis Bourke, a simple rhyming text and crisp photos of toddlers depict a number of activities to inspire youngsters to discover the world with their own hands. --Publishers Weekly

The book's loose structure, open-ended topic, and eye-catching photos leave plenty of space for conversation between young children and those who read aloud to them, a real plus in books for the very young. --Booklist

The preschoolers portrayed are young enough that their motions are still not self-conscious and are chubbily short of precision, gently touching all they meet, readers included. --Chicago Tribune

Children are sure to reach for this book again and again. --Scholastic Parent & Child
