PRES-K- Leroy names the fingersmiddle finger, thumb, etc.and then launches the idea of naming each of the neglected five toes. The talkative toes of a peach-colored foot voice their opinions on a suitable naming scheme. Should they be named alphabetically? Numerically? By color? By music note? By fruit? How will the toes come to agree on a consistent way to be named? The board book format matched with bold, straightforward illustrations and simple text strive to engage early preschool audiences, but the concept that toes should also have names is likely to be lost on this audience. Many children in the age range for which board books are appealing do not yet know that fingers have names beyond, perhaps, the thumb and pinky. The book touches on concepts such as the alphabet, numbers, and colors; however, the letters and numbers are printed in a small cursive font, not developmentally accessible for the targeted audience. The book's ending tries to give the reader a giggle, but misses the mark. VERDICT This may elicit a first glance from young children, but it's not a necessary purchase. Emily Brush, Novi P.L., MI

The individual fingers have names like thumb and index, but the poor toes don't! It's time to brainstorm what the toes should be called. This board book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children in preK. It’s a fun way to introduce classic concepts like colors and the alphabet. 

As the toes argue and advocate for their preferred name among themselves, kids will learn about concepts like letters, numbers, music notes, colors, and fruits, and celebrate individuality at the same time. This hilarious, chatty book is perfect for younger fans of The Day the Crayons Quit. 

Maybe your little one will decide what names to give to their own toes! 

The big toe wants to be called A, but not everyone agrees with the alphabet theme. The second toe argues they should go for numbers, while the last toe prefers fruits! 

How on earth will they resolve their disagreement?
