![]() ![]() I have used From Head to Toe in PE lessons and it’s a great book to pull off the shelf if you want to get a class of children moving for ten minutes. It’s a good book to use as an ice breaker especially with non native English speakers who will easily be able to understand the actions shown in the pictures. ![]() The children come from a range of ethnic backgrounds and Eric Carle’s beautiful, bold trademark illustrations show each animal and child on a white background.įrom Head to Toe is a really versatile book to use in the classroom. The first actions are gentler but by the end you are wriggling your hips and kicking your legs. Starting with a penguin who can turn his head the child can repeat the actions ‘From Head to Toe’ (in the final picture the child is wiggling his toe). Using a minimum amount of text and lots of repetition From Head to Toe introduces children to different body parts and animals, predominantly zoo animals. ![]() The final picture shows a child doing an action and a parrot repeating it. ![]() The animal asks if the child on the page can do it and the child copies the animal before saying yes. The Story: Each animal introduces itself and then does an action. Children love to join in with the actions and it’s an especially good book to use with non native English speaking children. From Head to Toe is a great book to get children moving and it’s one of my favourite Eric Carle books to use in the classroom. ![]()
