The Foot Book by Dr.Seuss

I don't know of anyone that did not read at least one Dr.Suess book growing up. When I was little, I loved The FOOT book. I think this book would be great for kindergarteners because it has a lot to do with learning right from left, counting, color, and size. When I used to read this book, my mom and I would always act the pages out. Putting my left and right foot out and we always ended up dancing. The first couple pages go over left foot, right foot, wet foot, dry foot, high foot and low foot. Kindergarteners will get into this book and really learn right from left if they were having trouble before. The book goes on for a few more pages about red feet, black feet, (so kids are learning the plural also) slow feet, quick feet, trick feet, sick feet, up feet, down feet, here come clown feet. So after this last one, you will have kids laughing. The last couple pages or two have lots of feet, 24 feet on one page. You can have kids count how many feet and point out all the different sizes and colors of each on the page. This book will be a great start to get kids thinking about feet (maybe a unit on body parts) you could even play a simon says type of game with this book. For example, simon says walk with your left foot, or put your foot on a chair. Kids will remember the book and think back in their mind about how many feet they have or how many feet an animal has. Another assignment you could ask kids to do is create their own feet, what type of feet they would like to have and where would these feet take them or what special qualities their feet will have. This book is great for kids at a young age and will really get them counting, thinking, and of course learning.
