Is This My Nose? is a delightful board book by Georgie Birkett, published by Random House Children’s Publishers UK (now part of Penguin Random House). Designed for toddlers and young children, this charming book makes early learning engaging, fun, and interactive.
The concept is simple yet highly effective: through repetitive phrases and clear, straightforward illustrations, children are gently guided to identify their facial features and body parts. The repetition helps reinforce memory and understanding, while the accompanying actions encourage active participation — making it more than just a book, but a shared activity between child and parent.
One of the standout features is the mirror at the end of the book, which transforms reading into an interactive game. Children love seeing themselves reflected, pointing to their own noses, ears, or mouths, and proudly answering the question posed by the title. This not only supports early language development but also builds self-awareness and confidence.
Why It Works:
-
Simple, uncluttered pictures make recognition easy for young readers.
-
Repetitive text aids recall and language development.
-
Interactive design keeps children engaged from start to finish.
-
The mirror adds a playful, personal touch that resonates strongly with toddlers.
Target Audience: Perfect for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, Is This My Nose? makes an excellent first book for introducing body awareness. Parents and educators will also find it a valuable tool for early learning.
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
