Unwrapping Some Illustrations 













The Book


Katie has had it with her tired, outdated, uninspiring collection of  shoes.  She needs a re-boot that will be a shoe-in to bring her happiness.  Off she goes to the shoe store and  ...


"The sales clerk asked, "Which shoes do you choose?" Katie said, "I want shoes that are braggy, not baggy."

"Let me see," said the clerk. 


Off he goes to sort through a mountain of shoe boxes that home the most stylish, outlandish, imaginative, silly and wonderful shoes for Katie to try on.  With this overwhelming assortment of shoe styles will Katie find the exact pair that will strike her fancy and return home fulfilled and happy? 


This is a delightful story that kids will love.  The illustrations are colourful, magical, and full of imaginative creativity.  They truly are superb. Written in funky rhyme kids will be mesmerized by the outlandish possibilities and Katie's reaction to each and every pair that she tries on.  "Which Shoes Do You Choose?" is pure joy and I highly recommend it!  


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
