So Many Feet

Description

High feet, slow feet, fast feet, snow feet! So Many Feet introduces young children to the great diversity in the natural world, using feet as an accessible point of entry. The playful, rhyming main text offers some information, but is mostly fun to read aloud. The secondary text offers more facts about each animal and what makes its feet so unique. The book ends by asking children whether their feet can do all the things animals' feet can do.

Nichole Mara only has two feet, and she's not afraid to use them to run, jump, and play all around New York City. Alexander Vidal is a recent graduate of the ArtCenter College of Design and has a passion for animals. So Many Feet is his first book.

"The tantalizing, brief snippets of information are just right for the age group, and the genial, boldly colored creatures that fill the pages are very eye-catching."-- "Booklist" "Vidal's boldly graphic art...is eye-catching. The larger-than-normal trim size...illustrate each creature's fancy footwork and hint at its habitat."-- "Kirkus" "Aimed at tots who are just beginning to ask the "why"s and "how"s of the world, So Many Feet helps readers understand that nature has a reason for everything."-- "Shelf Awareness"
