Funny Feet

Funny Feet — whose feet are these?

Read the rhyme, look at the feet, have a guess. Then lift the flaps — layer after layer — to find out who they belong to. It's a guessing game and a book at the same time, and the guessing is half the fun.

The rhymes are short and simple, so little ones pick them up quickly and start joining in with the answers long before they can read the words.

🐾 A guessing game you can read

Each spread gives a clue and a pair of funny feet. Some are easy, some take a moment. Either way there's a small triumph waiting under the flap, which is exactly the sort of thing that makes a toddler ask for the same book again.

And they will ask for it again. Knowing the answer doesn't spoil it — if anything, being right every time is the best part.

✋ Layers to lift, for little fingers

• Multi-layered flaps — lift one and there's another underneath
• A multi-touch patch on the cover flap to explore before you even start
• Sturdy board pages built for repeated lifting
• A compact 180mm square that suits small hands and fits in a bag

The layering does more than surprise. Working a flap free takes a pinch and a pull, which is good practice for the fingers that will later be holding a crayon.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What age is it for?
The publisher rates it from birth. Very young babies enjoy the rhythm of the rhymes and the touch patch on the cover; the flap-lifting and the guessing come into their own from around a year old.

Will the flaps survive a toddler?
They're board flaps on board pages, which is the sturdy end of the lift-the-flap world. Worth lifting the first few together, as with any flap book.

Is it good for taking out?
Yes — it's a small square book, light and self-contained, which makes it an easy one for the changing bag.

Does it make a good gift?
It does. Guessing books go down well with children who are just starting to talk, because they get to supply the answer.
