I Feel a Foot! Book

It's the Seven Blind Mice, only with a very odd mix of tiny characters whose intense, um, colorings make me wonder how the illustrations were created. (The info. was not given in this case.) A translation from Dutch. But still a cute story and might make for a good storytime read. Definitely a fun lapsit read. Good, accurate description on the cover: 5 creatures feel their way through this silly adventure. But honestly--turtle, bat, octopus, bird, and goat? While, yes, I love turtles and goats and think bats and octopi are pretty neat as book characters--it's still a pretty odd combo. But then when you see what they associate of themselves with the mysterious creature, it makes hilarious sense. And I loved the ending. So while parts of it were OK, or I've seen done before, or were a little annoying with some of the repetitiveness, the overall cuteness of it made it very enjoyable for me.

And, yes, the reason I grabbed it off the New Book Display was because the illustration of the turtle on the cover was just too much for me to pass up.
