All these items are referenced for their portrayal of characters that often (or always) preferred to go barefoot. These books are also chosen for their suitability for children. Some of them are very good as read-alouds. If possible, links to Amazon.com (online bookstore) are provided for readers convenience. We do not have any arrangement with Amazon and get no fee for such referrals. This is entirely a non-profit website.
