PreS-The only thing more fun than watching Baby get new shoes is seeing him get them dirty. As the story begins, a toddler and his mother are leaving a store with some "High-jumping,/fast-running,/fine-looking/shoes!" The boy leads his mother on a merry adventure across town where his white footwear gets covered in colored chalk, grass stains, plum juice, and yellow paint. Along the way, Baby and Mama exchange "Uh-ohs!" and "Oh, nos!" The story culminates in the diaper-clad youngster resplendent in "Those/speckled, spotted,/polka-dotted,/ puddle-stomping,/rainbow-romping,/go-go-going shoes," trying to flee his day-end bath. The smooth-flowing text contains wonderful repetitive phrases. The watercolor illustrations are warm and inviting and the expressions on the characters' faces are particularly delightful. A grand choice for one-on-one sharing, as well as for storytime.-Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
