Kirkus Review
Who Has Wiggle-Waggle Toes?
Kirkus Reviews
Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
This interactive, energetic lyric will easily prompt preschoolers to get up and celebrate their bodies. Chessa's colored-pencil, watercolor, and digital cartoon illustrations depict a culturally diverse cast of lively children who proudly embrace their different body types. Whether on the beach or on stage, the author showcases kids publicly engaging in everyday activities that encourage self-worth and positive body affirmations. Children with "knockabout knees" dance in a shower of colorful confetti while others with hula hoops "shimmy [their] big bold bottoms" proudly. Have a "kissable nose" or "flip-flop feet"? "I do," this cast of children declares. Several children wear eyeglasses, and one uses a wheelchair; their attire (play clothes and costumes) is as varied as their skin tones and hair textures. All the children have convincingly preschool bodies, and some are noticeably chubbier than othersall are equally ebullient. The call-and-response, patterned text ("Can you flap your out-there elbows? / Yes, I can flap my out-there elbows") invites eager audience participation, both vocal and physical. Everyone is invited to this read-along/sing-along body party that is the perfect tool for any preschool setting that seeks to affirm and teach children to celebrate their unique bodies without shame.Fun and high-spiritedpure joy.

Who Has Wiggle-Waggle Toes?
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
High spirits and funny words set the tone in this crowd-pleasing picture book. In the rhythmic text, the opening section asks a series of eight short questions about body parts, such as, Who has knockabout knees? The answer is always the same: I do. The concluding section establishes a new pattern: Can you stomp your flip-flop feet? Yes, I can stomp my flip-flop feet. While many picture books challenge young children to sit still and listen, this lively book encourages them to move and respond. It's not surprising that Shiefman has teaching experience, since the text is well designed for reading to groups of kids as well as individuals. The Q&A format invites listeners to use their minds, while the silly sentences are designed to amuse them and set them in motion. Created with watercolor, colored pencil, and digital elements, Chessa's playful illustrations feature a large, diverse crew of preschoolers who appear in small groups in different settings and clearly enjoy frolicking about in response to the words. A cheerful change of pace for storytime fun.--Carolyn Phelan Copyright 2018 Booklist
