In this book I was tickled by the baby with &#8216;sneezes &#038; chills&#8217; clutching a water bottle &#038; I love the expressive faces of the babies. It&#8217;s also good to see a range of multicultural faces.<\/p>\n<p>Personally for me the main charm of the book lies in remembering the joy of seeing tiny baby fingers &#038; toes for the first time, as my many many photos prove. It has also been fun to read it at a time when Freya is just discovering her fingers &#038; toes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1078\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue_books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_0960.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1078\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1078\" title=\"Ten little fingers &#038; ten little toes\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue_books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_0960-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"photo of freya\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue_books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_0960-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue_books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_0960.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1078\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ten little fingers & ten little toes<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been reading this delightful rhyming story &#038; I like to imagine Freya is enjoying the beautifully illustrated little babies in the book as much as I do.
