This very simple board book has bold pictures and minimal text. It describes lots of things that hands are for: saying hello (by shaking hands), drawing, playing, building, eating, dressing, keeping safe (by holding hands at the roadside), cleaning teeth, hugging and waving goodbye. The emphasis throughout the book is that hands are for all of these things, but not for hitting.
