Book Review: Left foot, left foot, right foot right foot.
Summary: 4 Stars
Whenever I work with kindergarten and first graders, this is one of the books I enjoy reading. They LOVE this book because of it's simplicity. It's great for encouraging kids to read and building self esteem. Thank you Dr. Seuss.Book Review: Favorite early reader
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my favorite book when I was little. I read it all the time with my mom and Dad and learned how to read. The repetition was easy to figure out through the pictures and practice. I actually had 2 of these books. One for the car and one for home. Try it...you will like it!Book Review: short---but humorous with a fine sense of rhyme
Summary: 5 Stars
The Foot Book teaches children adjectives and nouns to describe and name things; this educational read will be a lot of fun for your young child just learning to read. This book is perfect for adults to introduce to children while reading it to them; and gradually the child can be encouraged to read it more and more independently.
The illustrations are wonderful and classic Dr. Seuss style; but the real draw here is the information the books imparts to young readers and children learning to read.
The book has a page near the very front so that the child can write their name in it to personalize this book; that's sweet and a very clever idea to draw the child into the book all the more.
The lines of the book teach adjectives and nouns as they relate to, well, feet. (Well, mostly as they relate to feet.) Children are taught the words and the differences between left and right; morning and night; wet and dry; high and low; front and back; slow and quick; up and down--and much more. It's all very well done.
The hardcover of the book feels very strong and resilient so that young children can't accidentally do much damage to it; and the quality of the paper is excellent.
I highly recommend this book for young children. It is very educational and fun for them at the same time. Just don't tell them they're learning--as long as they think this is all in fun they'll gobble up this information faster than anything!
Book Review: Sue me, I liked It Better
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun book for kids with a cadence that exceeds the original (gasp). I read this version first with my twins, then found the original later.
You just can't miss with Dr. Seuss, original or adapted!
Book Review: Do not buy this desecration
Summary: 1 Stars
Buy the original Foot Book (one that is not a "wacky book of opposits"), not one that was modified to make it a board book and more "educational" than the original. The original Foot Book was wonderfully poetic, and was only tangenitally about opposites. But "trick feet, sick feet" is a much better bit of text in the original than "well feet, sick feet" in the original. Children are not stupid, and that the board book has effectively been dumbed down is another reason not to buy this edition.
