Picture Book: I Love You Nose! I Love
You Toes!
Author & Illustrator: Linda Davick
Summary:
This fun rhyming book celebrates the body parts that most interest young
children, from the tops of heads to the tips of toes and such things as
freckles, dimples, and ribs in between. Even parts that are often not mentioned
are here. “I love the parts my friends don’t see; the parts that poop, the
parts that pee.” This book ends with a warning to look before leaping and a good
night to body parts.
Hanna’s Comments: This would be a delightful book for exploring what amazing
creatures God has made us to be! Be sure to encourage identification and movement
of the body parts as you read. If it’s not bedtime and you want to skip those 2
sections, I suggest using Post-it Notes or paper clips to mark the pages. The
rhyme won’t be affected, and the children will never know.

Scripture Connections: Do you not know that your body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit? (1 Corinthians 6:19); Now you are the body of Christ and
individually members of it (1 Corinthians 12:27); the whole body, joined and
held together… when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that
it builds itself up in love (Ephesians 4:16)
Idea(s) for Application: Read this picture book when celebrating with a
group of young children the wonderful gift God has given us in the perfect
design of our bodies.
