Kartonboek: Tien kleine vingertjes, tien kleine teentjes

The illustrations by Helen Oxenbury are so warm and expressive that my daughter reaches for this book every single night. It’s become our go‑to before bed, and the simple message about babies everywhere feels quietly special.

The rhyming text flows so naturally that even my husband can read it without stumbling, and the illustrations of diverse babies are genuinely sweet to look at. It’s quickly become the book we grab first for bedtime, and my little one actually calms down when I start reading.

My toddler demands this book every single night, and the rhythmic, sing-song text is so easy to read aloud even when I'm half asleep. Helen Oxenbury's illustrations of babies from all over the world are just adorable.
