ALL KINDS OF FEET

Our goal in writing All Kinds of Feet (Thomas Y. Crowell, New York, 1984) was very much like that of Heads. We wanted children to look at animals in a way that will make them more interesting.  In All Kinds of Feet, we want them to understand how animal feet have been adapted to help animals survive. When they look at a polar bear's feet, they will see that they are broad and flat to keep the polar bear from sinking in the snow. When they see a zebra running, they will notice that its hoof is thick and hard to protect it from rough ground.  In addition, we want them to understand that unlike other animals, we humans do not have feet that are specially adapted.  We cannot run, swim, or climb as fast or as well as many animals. We have no wings to fly.  But, because we have very special front feet -- our hands, we can accomplish these feats with machines or tools we design and build.
