It's a fun read, but it's a little unsettling to think about our feet having eyes, noses, and mouths. however I enjoy the concept of this book, which is the significance of keeping your feet clean.

Fun illustrations and text. This would be a hit with preschoolers. Thank you NetGalley for providing an advanced reader copy of the book for an honest review.

This was a strange book.

My child didn’t like it. He thought it was strange.

I think there maybe better ways to convey cleanliness to young children.

It was just odd. It wasn’t a book my son and I would recommend based on what we like to read but I could see some kids maybe thinking it was funny. I’m just not sure on this one.

Krystaelynne S. Diggs writes books to help children learn to advocate for themselves such as Where Do Hands Go, and The ABCs of Consent. I was pleasantly surprised by this silly, goofy book about foot hygiene. An unnamed kids wakes up one morning to see that his foot has sprouted a nose! He tries to ignore it, but the next morning, his feet have sprouted eyes!

I bet kids will fall in love with this silly, goofy book about cleaning your feet well.

A fun quick read. I loved the simple writing day easy for young children to engage with and keep their focus. The illustrations were very fun and understandable. I loved how vivid all the colours were which makes it even more engaging.

This is a silly story of a kid whose feet grow a face and teaches him about hygiene. It’s a unique way to educate and encourage good hygiene with facts over fear.

Quick Summary: Playful and self-empowering

My Review: My Foot Has a Nose: A Hilarious and Educational Children's Book on Foot Hygiene and Care by Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs and illustrated by Ana Barbosa was a charming introduction to the proper management and care of the feet for littles. Built around the premise of hygienic awareness and cleanliness, this book educates the young on the importance of following a proper regimen for good foot health.

What I Loved About This Book: The simple rhyming quality presented in the book was appealing. It was entertaining enough to keep my attention and did much to make me want to continue reading. The visual artistry was colorful and engaging. Every illustrated element seemed precise and appropriate to the message being conveyed.

My Final Say: This was a wonderfully funny take on foot care, with the child in mind. I think families will appreciate the lesson in this book. Likewise, I think kids will find it easy to digest and non-threatening.

Rating: 4.5/5
Recommend: Yes
Audience: Ages 4 and up
Other: This would be a great resource for public health offices and clinics, schools, for early learning reading circles for pre-K and lower elementary-aged students sponsored by the public library system, and for families (in general).

Thank you to the author, to the illustrator, to the publisher (BooksGoSocial), and to NetGalley, who provided access to this title in exchange for an honest review. The words I have shared are my own.

A funny book that teaches children the importance of hygiene... in a way?

It was definitely a funny story, and the illustrations were gorgeous!

I will say that I felt the book was a little bit short, and the pages had quite a bit of text on them, something my niece and nephew tend to get bored of in picture books.

All-in-all, this was an entertaining story that had a subtle lesson attached.
