Me, My Pillow and Kicking Feet Robert Creighton

"Me, My Pillow and Kicking Feet" is one of those classic stories for kids that explores underlying childhood and parent-child relationship themes, but doesn't take itself too seriously. It is vividly illustrated and covers a little boy who enjoys kicking his pillows at home, down the street, in the grocery store and even at the zoo. The inspiration for the story has an interesting twist. The author is a podiatrist foot specialist who was inspired by his own children who were notorious pillow kickers. They often used their pillows for play leaving them on the floor and stepping all over them. We all know how children get into things that seem fun, but may not always be best, and there are things they may be exposed to that parents can teach them about in a caring way. The pillow kicking child's father must explain, "Pillows are for your head, not for your feet." Check it out - you'll like how the father teaches the child this lesson.
