A cozy collection of new and familiar finger plays includes accessible illustrations that convey both the imagery of the poem and ways to engage with fingers or body while reading. For example, in “One Seed, Two Seed,” panels show the outlines of fingers acting out the seed planting, while mixed-media artwork imagines seeds, raindrops, and sunshine in step with each stanza. Illustrations featuring humans are notably inclusive in terms of hair, skin, and disability. Whether enjoyed as a lap-sit reading or as selections demonstrated during a group storytime, Five Little Friends provides fun, easy engagement for young children and their caregivers.
