The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss is a Bright and Early Book for Beginning Readers, a series of books for the youngest of the young. The idea here is that the stories are brief and funny, the words are few and easy, and there is always a catchy sense of rhyme. Of course The Foot Book" is about not only the foot but feet. But the key part of this book is all the adjectives that Dr. Seuss comes up with for all those feet. This happens mostly in terms of oppositional pairs such as right and left, wet and dry, high and low, front and back, etc. Of course sometimes rhyme comes into play as well. The illustrations all feature the strange hairy creatures that populate the imagination of Dr. Seuss, although you will see a pair of rather normal looking kids in the mix as well. Did you ever stop to think that Dr. Seuss is probably the most influential poet of his generation? He is certainly the most imitated, and behind all those silly rhymes was a deep desire to get kids to read. Once your beginning reader has read The Foot Book, be sure to have them check out the sequel, "Fox in Sox."
Researchers constantly find that reading to children is valuable in a variety of ways, not least of which are instilling a love of reading and improved reading skills. With better parent-child bonding from reading, your child will also be more emotionally secure and able to relate better to others. Intellectual performance will expand as well. Dr. Seuss understood the elements of a successful early reader: Lots of repetition, visual adjectives, and hilarious drawings to tie it all together and keep the child racing forward. But what makes this book even more remarkable is that it teaches basic concepts as well such as left versus right (that most children are sorting out at this age), high and low, front and back, and counting. This book will make your imagination run wild! With all its colorful characters and zany rhymes you will want to read this book again and again.

Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit! appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best-selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.

The Foot Book is terrific, but be sure that you buy the 32 page white-covered version, not one of the inferior board books. My children have loved this book since 6 months. The story is very simple - it shows all different kinds of feet, from wet feet and dry feet to fuzzy fur feet. There aren't many words on each page, so there is lots of page turning to keep the youngest kids interest. Dr. Seuss used a sing-song rhyme, which reads quickly and is very soothing. We read it over and over again.
The artwork is classic Suess, with a focus on feet!
I credit The Foot Book with fostering my children's love of books. At just 12 months my daughter will bring the book to me and climb into my lap for a reading. (Fair warning - you will know this book by heart!)
My older child was bored with this book by about age 2, because it is so simple, but is now enjoying it again as I read it to her sister, and I think it will be a popular choice when she starts learning to read.
My recommendation is to get this book early and enjoy it often! |

One of the first things children learn about is their nose, hands, eyes and feet. Dr. Seuss captures many different kinds of feet in The Foot Book. It shows the differences between feet as well as demonstrates the actions feet can take. It's rhythmic with words that children want to repeat. And with repetition, children learn. Dr. Seuss favorites include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and "Green Eggs and Ham". Now... where did I put my shoes? My feet are cold!

Start reading this one and other Suess books to your children early. It's a lot of fun and a bit silly too, but it works. Left Foot Left Foot Right Foot Right Foot. Feet in the Morning. Feet in the Night. It begins so simply but in the end, you and your child are hooked. |

The Foot Book is about teaching children how each creature walks, how many feet it may have, and which foot is which. This book teaches the lesson of (as I have already mentioned) which foot is which, what the name of each foot is, and how many different legs does each creature has. The grade level for this book would be about a Pre-school - Kindergarten book due to the lack of words and more pictures. This book is a very good learning experience for every small child who is just learning new things or just getting to know what is right and what is left. I recommend it to every family that has a small child between the ages of 3 and 4. |
