Review
When a little mouse discovers a discarded shoe, he sets out to return said shoe to its rightful owner. He approaches many creatures, all of whom are not the owner of the shoe. After several failed attempts he is more determined than ever to bring this lone shoe back to its other half. Will he ever succeed? This tale is told in a rhyming fashion and the text is quite humorous. It makes for a wonderful read-aloud. The illustrations are unusual and amusing; there is a spider with eight shoes, a kangaroo in sandals, and an elephant who prefers high heels that make his ankles and legs look slim or so he believes. This is definitely one to consider for one's picture book or poetry collection.
Overall Book Score: very good
