(Review by Marcelo Mediavilla)

 

 

Children will love this foot-filled and classic book written by Theodore Seuss Geisel, who was commonly known as Dr. Seuss. The book combines brief and illustrated stories, easy words and good rhythm which make it ideal to work with children who are starting to read. The Foot Book will have them eager to dive into the magic world created by Dr. Seuss and it also has the didactic potential for teachers to deal with nouns and adjectives through the whole book.

 

When the author died in 1991, at the age of 87, he had already published more than 44 books written and illustrated by him. Using this combination of funny stories, pictures that looks like cartoons and good rhymes, Dr. Seuss entertains the readers of The Foot Book. This particular style proved to be successful and you can find it through most of his work.

 

The Foot Book is great to share with young learners. Its rhymes are quick and unique, and its illustrations will fascinate the readers. The book will surely help teachers in their daily class activities and keep in mind that it helped millions of kids not only to read but to enjoy the reading too.
