The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss
This is another book that I salute for having a rhythm that is perfectly suited to its content. Like Chugga-Chugga Choo Choo by Kevin Lewis, which has the rhythm of a train, this book about feet has a "marching" rhythm.
Here is how it begins:
Left foot
Left foot
Right foot
Right
Feet in the day
Feet in the night
Doesn't it sound like marching? I think so anyway.
It goes on:
Up feet
Down feet
Here come clown feet!
(My husband likes to say "Broken arm clown feet" for that last line because Seuss has taken some artistic liberties on one of the clown's elbows...)
I happen to like crazy elbows!
Anyway, bravo, Seuss! Another brilliant book.
