While it doesn’t include the penis or vulva, it’s a fun and engaging way to help toddlers and preschoolers learn about their bodies – and parents can always add in the missing parts themselves.

What this book is about

  • Eyes, Nose, Fingers and Toes: A First Book All About You is a picture book (available in both paperback and board book editions) that helps young children explore their bodies in a fun way.
  • Written in rhyme, the text describes what different body parts do – like eyes for winking and blinking, fingers for tickling, or toes for wriggling.
  • The book celebrates movement, play, and connection, with plenty of opportunities for interactive reading like peekaboo and hugs.
  • Features illustrations of children from different cultural backgrounds, though as an older book it may not show disability diversity.
  • Does not include genitals, so parents may wish to add those in themselves when naming body parts with children.
  • A gentle way to begin normalising body talk with toddlers, laying the groundwork for later conversations about private parts and body safety.
  • Bright, engaging, and easy to read aloud – perfect for storytime or playful moments with your child.
