For those book lovers looking for a way to spice up the pages of their favorite novel, these adorable yellow rain boots are a pair of tiny wooden legs that stick out of the edges of a book when the pages are closed.

This quirky bookmark design features the traditional flat, rectangular shape of a [conventional bookmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table) attached to two tiny wooden legs wearing yellow rain boots at the end. The tiny toy legs are made from faux-wood polymer clay that has been shaped like tiny Barbie-esque legs. Then, each toy leg is painted flesh color with a cute yellow rubber boot over top.

When a book is closed, the wooden legs stick out over the end of the pages and make it seem as though you've crushed a tiny little doll inside your book's pages.
