Wow, what a body can do!Children's LiteratureSimple words and big pictures show young children what their bodies can do: wiggle, giggle, squirm, roll, wobble and toddle. Yawn, hiccup, sneeze, sleep and poop are even more things that a body can do! Diverse babies are shown in the bathtub, in high chairs, playing with parents and engaged in everyday activities. Feelings such as happy, sad, lonely, shy and jealous are depicted, putting words and illustrations to emotions that babies register as they develop.

Pettenati, J.D.\ \ \ \ \ School Library JournalPreS\ In this loving celebration of all things baby, Henderson lyrically commemorates a small child's amazing feats, from crawling to clapping to exploring food with their entire bodies. "Stand./wobble./Sway/wobble. Bump!/Step/walk/toddle!" The oversize pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are warm and soft, with perfectly captured body movements and facial expressions. These babies are wide-eyed, innocent, and irresistible, and their feelings are right on target. "I want yours! No! It's mine!" is prompted by a tug-of-war over a bottle. "I feel lonely" shows a solitary child in a swing, while "I feel fine" shows a little girl hugging her stuffed bear. A lovely book for group or individual sharing.\ —Linda Zeilstra SawyerCopyright 2006 Reed Business Information.\ \ \ \ Kirkus ReviewsHenderson's latest is a celebration of babyhood and all the wonderful daily activities and developmental milestones that a child will experience. Verbs take center stage in this outing, describing how babies and young toddlers wiggle and move. A multicultural array of babies go through a typical day-they play clothing peek-a-boo, explore food with all their senses, take a bath and get groomed and describe how they feel. In the meantime, their bodies do all sorts of amazing things-giggle, wash, grow, sneeze, yawn, hiccup and poop. Howard's exuberant pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are the perfect fit for the text. He completely fills the pages with flawlessly captured facial expressions, pudgy feet and body language. Just right for sharing with a little one on a lap (or for those whose laps are disappearing), this is a must for any library catering to young families. (Picture book. 2-4)\ \
