Mommy's review from 11/14/11 - I forget who picked this one out but I'm guessing Julia because she has some sort of fascination with toddler books. If you're kid is older than, oh, about 2 years, I'd pass on this.The whole 'stompity, stompity' thing is enough to drive you crazy if you don't have a baby there to watch smile. And for some unexplained reason, because of all the 'stompity's' I couldn't say 'happy' when the need arose. I could only say 'happity'. Luckily this didn't last or I'd have ripped every single hair our of my head.The illustrations are okay but nothing special. What you'd expect to find in a book like this, nothing more.Maybe we'd have liked it more if we'd read it when Julia was a baby. Although I will admit she enjoyed hearing me continually saying "Happity feet. I mean, happity, happity. GRRRRRR. HAPPY FEET." Dancing Feet is a great story to introduce footprints of different animals. This story uses many descriptive words to describe the footprints of the animals; such as "The big grey footprints." This gives the color and the size of the footprints being made by the animal. I would use this story as a dramatization and have each child be a different footprint from the book. They would be able to have their own part and play each animal in the story. I would re-create the footprints and we would use them in class to retell the story.
What do You think about Dancing Feet! (2010)?
so fun for drumming and dancing and my baby loves to grab at the illustrations
