Author Nichole Mara and illustrator Alexander Vidal’s board book So Many Feet introduces young children to the great diversity in the natural world, using feet as an accessible point of entry.
High feet, slow feet, fast feet, snow feet!
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.
