Wet foot. Dry foot. Low foot. High foot. Early readers will
enjoy marching in time to the beat of many, many feet with Dr.
Seuss'' fun exploration of opposites. With his unique combination of
hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has
been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for
over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the
Hat, and ranking among the UK''s top ten favourite children''s
authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with
nearly half a million books sold worldwide. This delightful book
forms part of the third stage in HarperCollins'' major Dr. Seuss
rebrand programme. With the relaunch of six more titles in January
2004, such all-time favourites as The Lorax, The Foot Book and
Yertle the Turtle now boast bright new covers that incorporate much
needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents
to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding
readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for
older, more fluent readers to enjoy. The Foot Book belongs to the
Blue Back Book range.

Theodor Seuss Geisel - better known to millions of his fans as
Dr. Seuss is quite simply the most beloved children’s book author
in the world.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss
charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of
youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped millions of kids
learn to read.
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts,
on March 2, 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925,
he went to Oxford University, intending to acquire a doctorate in
literature.
Geisel published his first children''s book, And to Think That I
Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937, after 27 publishers rejected
it.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, an Academy Award, three
Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honors,
Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Theodor Geisel died on
September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of
children of all ages to explore the joys of reading.
