A close-up illustration of an animal's tail is depicted along with the titular question; on the following page, the animal to which it belongs is revealed along with one fact about how the tail is used. The final spread's gatefolds add nothing of value, but the text and art are clear and simple and will work well for preschooler storytimes.

This engaging question-and-answer volume explains how the feet of nine animals have adapted to suit their environments. For each creature, a double-page spread shows an impressively detailed close-up of the mystery feet; the next spread reveals the animal in its habitat, succinctly describing the purpose of its unique feet features (sticky pads, claws, toes, scales, etc.). An appended gatefold shows all the animals.
