MY TIDBITS
Feet are moving, moving, moving...with tons of energy all through the day.
This is an easy to read book, which celebrates feet as they carry us through an active day. It begins with waking up in the morning, and then, heads outdoors before hitting the bathtub and back to bed. It's written in rhyme, which flows well enough, and sticks to a few, very short phrases. So, even impatient listeners or very young listeners won't feel bogged down.
The illustrations are colorful and center on feet. While holding energy and artistic flair, they weren't quite my thing, but that's more of a personal taste matter, than anything else. Plus, while diversity is present, it would have been fun to see other types of feet, but again, this was just my personal two-cents.
Energy abounds as these pages inspire to head outdoors and experience life in a very playful way. It also holds hints of friendship and enjoying life. So there are tons of good feelings to be found. I do see this as a great way to inspire young listeners to get moving, and it would make a great read-aloud just before heading to the playground or starting an active game.
