I love the varied color palette of Hannah Tolson’s illustrations with bright colors splashed across the page to highlight the aquatic environment of the sea turtle and a snowy winter landscape to exhibit the Great Horned Owl’s habitat. Julie Murphy’s text is fun to read and engaging. If using this as a read aloud, I’d suggest reading the first line of each page prior to showing the picture to ask readers to guess which animal comes next. For example, reading “I’ve got sturdy feet.” Then having students guess what animal that might describe and then reading the rest of the page, showing the illustrations as well. A teacher’s guide is available at: www.amicuspublishing.us/downloads. I’ve Got Feet will make a great addition to any school library or classroom library and animal lovers will enjoy reading it as part of a home library too!
