From Publishers Weekly
Paul's (The Seasons Sewn: A Year in Patchwork) cheerful and bouncy poem narrates the activities of a spunky heroine who greets the day by announcing, "Good morning, toes,/ Good morning, feet,/ tangled up between my sheets./ Be the first to touch the floor,/ hop me to the closet door." Occasionally, the conceit of having the girl directly address her feet throughout the day seems strained ("Now march me over to the trees..../ I'll slip off your socks and shoes"), and the changing line length of the stanzas sometimes throws off the poem's rhyme scan ("Go outside,/ try to leap/ across the walk,/ skip side to side,/ lead the way/ quick down/ the slide"). Nonetheless, Westcott's (Never Take a Pig to Lunch) bright, shiny faces and effervescent illustrations bubble with verve. Readers will delight in the expressive terrier, reminiscent of Margaret Bloy Graham's Harry the Dirty Dog, and a blue stuffed rabbit who accompany the girl on her escapades. Westcott's watercolors brim with jaunty details: feet clomp, dance, skip and jump; when the girl's feet kick the table, the "Happy O's" in her cereal bowl fly into the waiting mouths of her younger brother and dog; and her closet is neatly lined with treasures?alligator socks, sandals with Carmen Miranda fruit and even Judy Garland's ruby-red shoes. Whether spotlighting cowgirl boots or muddy bare toes, this appealing toddler book is full of neat feet. Ages 2-7.

PreSchool-Grade 1?A little girl's feet guide her through a lively day in which every activity becomes a playful adventure?swinging, stomping cans, and jumping in puddles and mud. The fun increases as the child's footwear constantly changes, ranging from pink bunny slippers to red cowboy boots to "big lady" party shoes. The text's sharp bouncy rhythm could inspire toe-tapping from young listeners. Colorful cartoon line-and-wash illustrations, featuring plenty of purple and pink, are an ideal match for the energetic rhyme. Together, they celebrate the boundless, often overwhelming vitality of early childhood. Sheer fun, pure and simple.?Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI
