Review by Sherri Allen:
"Hands can clap while voices sing. Hands can do all kinds of things." Hands Can,
by author Cheryl Willis Hudson and photographer John-Francis Bourke, is a celebration of the
wonder of little hands.
Hands Can describes and shows children using their hands in a variety of activities.
It also shows a variety of hands. There are girl hands, boy hands, toddler hands, "big-kid"
hands and hands of many races.
Young children will love Hands Can, with its simple, rhyming text, bright colors and
delightful photographs depicting children having fun with their hands. They will want to wave
hello like the little boy in beginning of the story. They will want to play Peekaboo like the
little girl near the end. They will want to read this book again and again.
