Excellent grade school picture book. Younger children will love the colorful illustrations and the lyrical rhyming language. Older children will appreciate the creative vocabulary and the mess the "Feet" get into. Mrs. Daniel's gets us to care about the delightful character of Handy Bob. Children will identify with all the fun activities that take place in an elementary school.I look forward to Teri Daniel's next book.

this book was a good and funny book. I realy liked this book.

This is a rhyming story about handy Bob, a janitor at Lakeside school. He has to constantly mop or "swab" the floor in the gym in order to clean after the children and their activities. He gets at his wits end when his clean-ups are short lived. The school band comes to the rescue and helps Bob to solve the problem. Teri Daniels' use of rhyming every two lines gives an upbeat rhythm to this humorous story. The brightly colored illustrations by Travis Foster contribute to the setting and plot of the story to allow the reader to become a part of Bob's world. My three year old, Brandon and myself really liked this story. We have read it several times. I think it will be read and enjoyed by many children over and over again!

This is such a cute book. I discovered it when I was babybsitting. Such a great book for any aged kids!! I liked it soo much that I went out and bought it for my dad. He is a teacher for 2nd and 3rd grade, and the kids in his class love the book too! I would totally recommend everyone to get this book!

The Feet in the Gym is a fantastic book that kids are sure to enjoy. The story is fun, the language is snappy and the conclusion treats the reader to a wonderful surprise solution that is just spotless. I look forward to future books by this talented author.

my son loves this book, the book is based on Lakeside elementary school in Merrick. My husband and I read it to him almost every night. It is fun and entertaining! Enjoy!

MY GRANDAUGHTER IS SIX YRS. OLD. SHE LOVED THE RHYMES. THE BOOK IS VERY COLORFUL AND THE SUBJECT MATTER IS ESPECIALLY INTERESTING TO THE GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN. THE STORY WAS WELL WRITTEN AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE FROM MS. TERI DANIELS. GOOD WORK.

The artwork is spectacular and vivid while the story is compelling and imaginitive. The way in which Mrs. Daniels conveys her tale is spectacular, keeping children interested with a sense of rhythm in her rhymes. My kids especially liked the ending of the book.

Handy Bob, custodian at Lakeside school, works hard to keep his school spotless. He washes walls, dusts dim lightbulbs and shines doorknobs. But his hardest job, by far, is keeping the gym floor clean. No matter how often he mops and swabs the dirty footprints away, kids just keep tracking more grime and goo through the gym. From the kindergartners who shuffle by and the brownies who leave cookie crumbs behind, to Mrs Milton's dancing class and the art students dripping paint, Handy Bob's job is never done. And, just as he reaches his wit's end, the marching band troops through and ingeniously saves the day..... Teri Daniels has written a delightful and amusing story that will charm all youngsters 3-8. Her witty text, told in rhyme that children can help "read" and easily follow, is beautifully complimented by Travis Foster's bold, bright and expressive illustrations and kids will love watching the chaos unfold as Handy Bob tries to stay ahead of the ever-mounting mess on the gym floor. Complete with humorous ending that will have kids laughing out loud, The Feet in the Gym is a winner and makes a nice addition to all home bookshelves.

I think this book was good and had a lot of info .
