Review
This nonfiction picture book features Gabe, a young boy about 8 years old who wants to win the school running race. His current shoes are too small, so he and his mom set out to find a deal on shoes he'll like.
They use internet searches, coupon shopping and thrift store shopping to find the best deal for Gabe. Simple math problems are presented to help the reader understand why certain shoes are over the budget Mom originally set.
Illustrations are flashy and fast with cartoon figures. This imagery adds to Gabe's intense desire for those fast shoes.
Back of the book provides glossary and a step by step guide to creating your own advertisement. An excellent addition to any elementary library. advertisement
