Whose Feet Are These?

About the Book

The inspiration for my book, "Whose Feet Are These?" developed from a project in which my class explored a variety of water color techniques, resulting in colorful papers. As Kindergartners are always questioning and curious, I decided to use water color techniques combined with cut paper images, to make a question and answer rhyming book. The fun rhymes include a clue, followed by the answer and picture of the animal. Interesting facts about each animal's feet and accompanying check list completes this picture book. Aren't feet neat?
