A delightful introduction to our bodies and actions, featuring favorite animals

Crouch down like a tiny mouse.
Stretch up tall like a big, furry bear
Flip-flop your feet and wiggle-waddle to and fro.
In the blink of an eye, you're a duck in a pond,
You're a mouse in a house, you're a bear in a lair.
As you turn from page to page,
Join in to see what wonderful animal you can be.

From the top of our heads to the tips of our toes, our bodies do amazing things. Add a dash of imagination, and there's no end to what we can be-a puppy dog cocking its ears to hear a faraway sound; a kangaroo using its strong legs to leap over a puddle; or a bear catching a slippery fish in a stream.

Brimming with imagination and delight, Nose to Toes is a unique picture book that will inspire young readers to think about how different parts of their bodies can be used. But that's only the beginning! They are then encouraged to take each of these actions a step further by playing a classic childhood game of Let's Pretend, which gently reinforces easy-to-understand connections to actions of well-loved animals.

Bright, informative and interactive, Nose to Toes is a simple and fun way for young readers to learn about themselves and other animals. Featuring favorite animals such as a lamb, a lion, a kangaroo, and a duck, Marisol Sarrazin's magical art is a rainbow of vibrant color and is the perfect complement to Marilyn Baillie's lyrical and rhythmic writing.

In addition, Marilyn also edited and compiled Science Surprises (1989), More Science Surprises (1992) and wrote Magical Fun (1991), all from Owl Books. She is also a former editor of Chickadee magazine. Marilyn lives in Toronto and Vermont with her husband.
From School Library Journal:
reS-Gr 1-Young children pretend to be different animals. Colorful, uncluttered illustrations accompany the text, each spread showing an animal in action, mirrored by the child's imitation on the opposite page. The simple text rhymes only here and there, lacking even a basic read-aloud rhythm. The effort to stimulate children's imagination and nudge them to a realization that all living things are interrelated makes the book useful, as does the handy page that explains in a few brief sentences some facts about a specific attribute of each creature. Audrey Wood's Quick as a Cricket (Child's Play, 1990) and Jane Howard's When I'm Sleepy (Puffin, 2000) both flow more smoothly.
