Customer Reviews

Great book for preschool and up

I really enjoy this book and have given it as a gift many times. Good for slightly older kids (not toddlers) as the fingerplays are a little on the hard side for very young children. We enjoy this book a great deal.

Finger Plays

This book brings back memories of many years ago. My mom would do these finger plays when I was a young child. I did them with my kids and now I am forwarding this book on to my son to do with his first child.

Brings you and your child together

I bought this book when my daughter was an infant. She's over 4 now, and we still return to Emilie's fingerplays to have a fun rhyme and finger game. The book inculdes beautiful pen drawings of all of the finger positions (like how to make an umbrella or a caterpillar with your fingers), plus music for each rhyme--you can either speak them or sing them. The rhymes are very simple and easy to learn. A great tool for parents and children that will have you both laughing!
