Soft shadows and warm colors in realistic pastel illustrations provide a perfect background for the minimal, rhyming text describing children's finger activities. Some, such as finger painting and the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song, will be familiar to toddlers and preschoolers, while others, such as signing "I love you" in American Sign Language, will offer an opportunity for learning.

A brief, playful rhyming text celebrates the many things little toes can do, from tickling and digging to dancing and cuddling. "Drawing toes / Digging toes / Hidden toes / Testing toes / Splashing toes / Squishing toes / And don't forget the fishing toes." Close-ups of the feet and faces of children from a variety of ethnic backgrounds are rendered in warmly realistic pastels.
