My feet

Aliki's colorful, multieth nic illustrations help present the sub jects of feet and hands in a clear, con cise manner. In My Feet, children are shown running, jumping, and hopping in bare feet and in all sorts of footwear. The text covers anatomy of the foot, footprints, being ticklish, and even ac tivities to try with the feet (like draw ing). The text of My Hands is essential ly the same as the original edition, with added sentences about bones, disabil ities, and even veins. The illustrations are much improved, bright and updat ed, with minorities and handicapped children well represented, performing activities such as drawing, clapping, and talking in sign language. Mention is made in this edition about left-handed ness and the difference between chil dren's and adults' hands. Both texts are simple and straightforward, without be ing condescending. Two fine introduc tions to human anatomy.--Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo and Erie County Pub lic Library, Buffalo, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

In this colorful beginning science book, a multiethnic group of children examines the parts and functions of feet. The simple, lively text calls attention to a part of the body often taken for granted. From HORN BOOK 1990, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
