Feet Are Not for Kicking

"Look at those feet! Aren't they sweet?" Yes--when they're walking, standing, leaping, and landing. And when they're kicking balls or leaves. But not when they're kicking people! In simple words and charming full-color illustrations, the Feet Are Not For Kicking board book helps little ones learn to use their feet for fun, not in anger or frustration. It also includes tips for parents and caregivers on how to help toddlers be sweet with their feet. A companion to our award-winning Hands Are Not For Hitting, Teeth Are Not For Biting (see page 17), and Words Are Not For Hurting board books (see page 9), it's perfect for home, childcare, or preschool.
