Written in a rhyming format and illustrated in classic Jack E. Davis fashion, this book tells the story of a child named Burt and his quest to cure his bunions. He tries “goop for feet”, pigsty mud, sunburn, and even gets offered a pedicure by his little sister. Finally, Burt’s father informs him that he’s from a lineage of over-sized footed persons and cures what ails him with brand new shoes.
