Feet Man and Mr. Tiny

$9.00

Feet Man has two gigantic problems – his feet. His foot size is
triple-extra-umpteen-large. He has never found a shoe that fits
him, and whenever people see him, they always point and make
fun of him. But then one day he discovers a tiny man stuck
between his toes – Mr. Tiny, to be exact. Mr. Tiny has his share
of problems, too, but he doesn’t let them bother him. He knows
that everyone, no matter how unusual, has a talent. And when
Mr. Tiny spots an advertisement for the Husky Puppy Shoe
Company in the newspaper – “If We Can’t Fit Your Size, We’ll
Give You a Giant Prize!” – he knows that Feet Man is a shoe-in
to win.
With lively illustrations and pun-ny read-aloud text, this
friendship between two characters of vastly different shoe size
demonstrates that sometimes it takes an outsider to help us
discover what we are best at.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Feet Man has huge feet, and everyone makes fun of him. One day, he gets Mr. Tiny stuck between his toes, and soon the two become fast friends. The small man finds an ad for the Husky Puppy Shoe Co. contest, with the prize a trip to Florida. Feet Man wins, of course, and the two pals leave for the beach, where Feet Man walks out onto the water and dances, drawing an approving crowd. This odd story tries to show that everyone has something special, and that even those who are different have value. The reading level is simple, but the many puns about feet may be a bit beyond the intended audience. Like the story, the cartoon watercolor-and-line illustrations are mediocre and uninspiring. Pass on this one unless you feel compelled to purchase every self-esteem title published.-Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canada
