Amazon.com Review
The Foot Book is a delightful tribute to the diverse and multifaceted world of feet. Not merely a realm of ankles, arches, and toes--as this self-proclaimed »Wacky Book of Opposites« attests--the podiatry province welcomes all kinds: »Slow feet/Quick feet/Well feet/Sick feet.« Dr. Seuss has put his best foot forward here, in a whimsical approach to showcasing opposites. Wet feet contrast dry feet, and low feet contrast high feet. Though hot feet and cold feet aren't specifically referenced, we get the sense that those are okay too. As usual, the rhymes are quick and quirky, and Seuss's illustrations will knock kids' socks off. (Baby to preschool)

A Good Teaching Book for Toddlers 
While we had purchased many of the »Classic« Dr. Seuss books, I had shied away from the ones that seemed focused on one specific topic (»The Hat Book,« »The Nose Book, etc.) thinking they would be boring. I finally picked up «The Foot Book,» after looking at a few of the pages inside, and my kids (16 months old) love it! The book has been great for teaching adjectives – «low,» «high,» «wet,» «dry," etc. The illustrations are such that my kids really seem to understand the gist of the word being used. It's fun, fast, and another favorite for my kids' self-reading efforts.

Great Seuss Book for toddler's
My daughter has loved this book since 9m old. She's 18m old & I read it 5 times yesterday am. She loves the rhyming & the images.

My daughter's favourite book
We didn't have Dr. Seuss where I grew up so I don't have any misplaced emotional attachment to the »original«; for my daughter this will be the original. I love this little book and so does my daughter. When we start reading it she jumps up and down and laughs and claps her hands, we make it interactive with toys like a stuffed pig and a clown doll, yawning for night time, juggling on the »well feet« page. I've read it to her anything up to six times in a row. As an English major I can say that the rhyme and syntax flows beautifully, probably better than the original from the excerpts I've seen quoted here. Don't be put off by the fact it's not the »original« – your baby won't care one little bit.

Daughter absolutely loves it!
Not sure why she is so interested in it, but she wants it read over and over again. She just loves it and I REALLY like that it holds up so well. She is 15 months old and recently is in a phase of tearing paper. So … this has held up well.

An Enjoyable Transition-to-Reading Book 
This is a very nice Seuss book presenting a number of adjectives applying to feet: left, right, big, small, slow, quick, and so on. The adjectives are delivered in easy-to-read rhyme and illustrated with Seuss's characteristic good humor. It's a silly, amusing episode of rhythmic reading, with just enough content that older children might sit still for it. Another good transition-to-reading book for toddlers.
