I have always enjoyed Steve Jenkins's animal books for their specificity-- bones, speed, tails, and motion come to mind. However, they are a little too involved for the 2.5- 3 year old. Well, this book fills the need!! Each animal is introduced by the question "Who has these feet?", followed by a close up drawing showing the top and bottom of the feet. On the next two pages, the reader learns which animal has that foot, claw, or flipper, and why. It won't be long before the story time kids are a...more
This is losing a star because the "gatefold" trumpeted on the cover is just a foldout double spread showing all the animals. Nothing to get excited about, AND it means this book will tear this much sooner under the handling of toddlers and their parents/nannies who allow them to look at stuff unsupervised! May consider using it for story time before releasing it into the wild, or may just not release it at all :(
Love that the author uses the feet of less regularly used animals like ants and squirrels. Many of the feet I couldn't guess so it would be a fun challenge and show kids a part of animals they likely haven't seen. Includes basic information about each animal's foot. Short and enteratining enough for a storytime.
My children and I really enjoyed this book, which I wouldn't hesitate to use during storytime for preschool/early elementary. Each entry has the question posed with just the view of the feet---on the following page layout the full view is revealed. Some were really surprising and stumped all of us, which was fun!

Repeating the question Who Has these feet? Each page turn puts the feet into perspective on animals viewed in a natural context. Simple text, vivid illustrations, and a wide range f animal types will keep this interesting and appealing over several readings.
In this early nonfiction books, young children are treated to an animal guessing game. Illustrations of feet are matched with their owners. Readers are then presented with a fact about how those feet help animals based on where each animal lives.
I loved this book! At first I thought it was just going to be a picture book without much information. The book ended up being very informative about different types of animals and not only used picture illustrations but also included facts about the function of each animals feet!!
Great science picture book. Lovely drawings and clever guessing game. I really learned something! I will share this with any 3-7 year olds I meet.

Grade 2-3. Structures and functions of animals.
Students will be able to determine how different animals use their feet to thrive in their habitats. Flipbook can be used.

My kids love this book. They're hooked on the engaging guessing game and simply stated information about foot adaptations.
Love the guessing format with enough information shared on each page to make it appropriate for older children too.
Great book for Toddler Storytime. leads into a fun craft of doing something with feet!
Cute choice for toddlers. Good for a body parts or self awareness theme.
This would make a great flannel board :)
One of Violet's favorites! Super cute.
Great preschool read
Fun for reading aloud.
Early science lessons.
Used for Animals theme Bunny Hop with Tiny Little Fly. This would also be excellent for Toddler Time, allowing the older preschoolers to make guesses.

A cute book that keeps you guessing throughout, as you try to guess which animal has which feet. My kids loved guessing, and it was interesting to see the ones we got right, and the ones we were way off on.

In kindergarten, I sat at a table working on my 5's with a chubby pencil on cardboard. I had trouble getting the pencil to go out for the pot belly of the 5, so the shapes I kept forming looked more like J's. In my determination to get the 5 figured out, I worked over the entire piece of cardboard. Finally, when I was just about to run out of space, I made a shape that actually looked like a 5. In...more
