Here are "shoes to skate in, shoes to skip in, shoes to turn a double flip in"! A sweet and charming rhyming look at a favorite topic for pre-K and kindergarten kids--perfect for anyone helping children learn to tie their shoes.
This book was a Reading Rainbow selection and praised by School Library Journal, which noted: "Story hour groups will be checking out each other's footwear after hearing this rollicking rhyming paean to shoes."
The art by William Joyce--whose books include George Shrinks, the Guardians and Dinosaur Bob series, and the #1 New York Times bestselling The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, which is also an Academy Award-winning short film--was praised by Booklist as "animated, energetic, and warmly colored."
The perfect book to share during units on clothing and getting dressed--and for all teachers and parents helping children learn to tie their shoes.
