Book Review: The Foot Book
Author: Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)
Date: 1968
Publisher: Grolier / Random House
Length: pages not numbered
Illustrations: colorful cartoons by the author
Quote: “Left foot. Right foot. Feet. Feet. Feet. How many, many feet you meet.”
The Foot Book is one of Dr. Seuss’s “Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners.” You know what that means: just a few different words, arranged in silly, funny rhymes, on pages with ridiculous cartoons. Five-year-olds love it.
The strange and wonderful part is that grown-ups love it too. We buy these books for children, but we all know who’s going to start quoting, “Wet foot. Dry foot. Low foot. High foot,” just as often as the children do, or more often.
What’s not
to like about Dr. Seuss books? Theodor Geisel is gone; there won’t be any more
of them. Some of these books are easier to find than others. If you do not
currently live with primary school children, but in the future you might, I
recommend completing your collection now.
To buy it here will cost $5 + $5 shipping.
