Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb is a cute little book for young children that gives a basic introduction to hands and fingers, the different things you can do with your hands, and even a few basic instruments and the concept of rhythm and rhyme.
There are a lot of different activities you can do with your child to really engage further with this book and these concepts . . . Doing monkey related activities, learning more about the hands and the names of the different fingers, making a toy drum to play . . .
