* * * Read & Reviewed by Me and My Niece Emma * * *

Those 5 stars are totally biased, because Emma just read this whole book to me all by herself - the first one ever - and I'm over the moon with pride!

There was so much joy up in my heart that I forgot to make a joke about her own stinky feet. After a day of hard playing at school, those little piggies get ripe!

Apparently The Foot Book is one they have at school and obviously it's a favorite, because Emma passed over a dozen other good choices (even Cinderella!) and grabbed up my two copies (why do I have two?) so we could both read it at the same time. I assumed I would do the reading and she'd follow along. But as you no doubt know, when you assume you make and ass out of you and me.

Her mom came early to pick her up, so I didn't get the chance to ask her how much she liked the book, but she asked if she could have one of the copies to take home with her, so that was kind of answer enough.

The Foot Book is another kid's book I've read to my son about 4,000 times in the past month or so. Did Dr. Seuss have a foot fetish? Probably. Was he also a rhyming wizard? Definitely. This one has a great rhythm for reading aloud. The art is as good as Seussian art gets.

My one gripe is that the placement of the words on the page is a little awkward sometimes. Is it "Left Foot, Left Foot, Right Foot, Right" or "Left Foot, Right Foot, Left Foot, Right" for instance.

Another treasure that I found at the Country Store at the farm I work at!! I was saving it for when I needed to laugh 🤣 about life because right now, I am preparing for surgery on February 14, 2024. So, today was the right day to read this Dr. Suess treasure!!


" Left foot."
" Right foot"
" Left foot"
" Right,"

" In the house,
and on the street,
how many, many feet you meet."

Full of fun and colorful illustrations for little ones to see, laugh at and be able to count the different 🐾🐾👣👣 feet you meet!! Too cute 🥰!! Take time out of your day, sometime, when you need a laugh and read this or any Dr. Suess book!! You'll be in for a treat! 🐾🐾👣👣🤣

Enjoy and Happy Reading 💫✨👣🐾

Foot

“The Foot Book” is a children’s book from the greatest mind of children’s books, Dr. Seuss and it is about how the main character, a fuzzy and golden looking character, introduces the various types of feet that everyone has. “The Foot Book” is one of the greatest books from Dr. Seuss ever created that children will enjoy for many years.

Dr. Seuss’ talent for writing and illustrations has been astounding children around the world for many years and this book is no exception! Dr. Seuss perfectly puts the book in a rhyming prose that gives the book so much creativity as children can learn with ease about the different types of feet in a hilarious way. Dr. Seuss’ illustrations are perfect as usual as he makes the characters look surreal yet friendly as all the characters are wearing black and yellow jumpsuits along with red, green, and red shoes that look like clown shoes since they are large.

Foot

“The Foot Book” is an excellent book for children who love reading about different types of feet in a humorous way and will surely become a major cult classic in any family who are fans of Dr. Seuss’ books. I would recommend this book to children ages three and up since this book is pretty straightforward for many toddlers.

Another great book by Dr. Seuss, but that doesn't come as a surprise to me. He was always one of my favorites when I was young. Such an imagination he had! I connected with that then... and now. This book of opposites is fun and entertaining with cute pictures and rhyming words. Enjoyable for any age kid.

I was not compensated for my honest review.

If I were reviewing this book from my two year old's point of view I'd be far more liberal with the stars. From me it's only getting three. I enjoyed it the first two hundred times, but the plot's a bit lacking.

Our favorite part:
his feet,
her feet,
fuzzy fur feet


Who doesn't love fuzzy fur feet?

The Foot Book is a classic Dr. Suess book that talks about the opposites. The tone throughout the book is a very melodic and poetic with its rhyming every other sentences, making it a great book to read to any child. As I read this book to a five-year old, she enjoyed the illustrations that were in each page. She made her own story by just looking at the many details in each page. She also picked up on how every last word of each sentence would sound familiar and asked why it sounded like a song. I then had to explain what rhyming was.
I recommend any Dr. Suess book to any parent because in each book of his, he explains so much in just one fun book. In the Foot Book, he talks about how everything has an opposite. Teaching a child at a young age about opposites lets their mind expand to learn more about the world. A Foot Book can be especially fun to children because of it’s bright colors that the illustrator used in each page. It makes the book a very cheerful and positive book. Perfect as a bedtime story.

Well last night was definitely a night devoted to fun family reading and fond memories. My kids are celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday in school and my my sons' shad an assignment to find a Dr. Seuss book that had an affect on their early life, read it, and bring it to school the next day. My 7 year old chose this title. He loved this book when he was a toddler (and still does). My husband and I know many of these books by heart now and now my son knows this one by heart now too. It not only helped teach him to read but it taught him that reading is fun! That is the joy of Dr. Seuss ! Even after all these years, he can still bring a smile to a child's face and make them feel like a superstar when they finally can tackle the book by themselves. That is why people still celebrate this brilliant man, whose simple rhymes and catchy phrases still bring smiles to children and adults everywhere. 5 stars!

This Dr. Seuss book is kind of hard one to rate as an adult for me. Of all his books this one as an adult reader is the least enjoyable but as a child I absolutely loved it. My children did too and now my grandchildren do. It was probably one of the first books that my kids could read back to me word for word. Classic Dr. Seuss.

"The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss is a simple yet brilliant exploration of language and diversity. Using basic rhymes and contrasting images like "Left foot, right foot," it teaches kids about words and differences. It subtly encourages acceptance and shows how life is a journey of unique steps. Overall, it's a timeless book that conveys deep ideas in an engaging way.

Beginner

My son picked this book to read. Thought it was a more advanced book but this would be a great book for beginner readers. This would be a great confidence builder for beginner readers.

It only took a few reads for the 2yo to remember most of the adjectives, and to say them with great relish. Now, after 20 or so iterations, I barely have to say a word! (And it teaches left and right too, which are remembered more often than not. At least for feet.)
