Meet four girls who love shoes: SHOE-LA-LA! “Shoes with zippers, Shoes with straps, Shoes with buckles, Shoes with taps”.
Prance from page to page in search of the perfect pair of party shoes. Girls of all ages will love to go on a shoe shopping expedition with these four friends, from “fuzzy boots for when it snows” to “ballerinas on our toes.” The girls try on every shoe in the store, but “eeny, meeny, my, oh, my [they] just don’t know which shoes to buy.” With some feathers and glitter, a little bit of glue, and a LOT of imagination, the girls come up with the best shoes of all!

Geisel Honor winner Karen Beaumont’s rollicking rhymes – paired with the vibrant illustrations of LeUyen Pham – capture the excitement of finding your own style, and the joy of sharing it with friends.

“Party dresses, party hair, perfect party shoes to wear!”

Enjoy a day of shopping with four adorable girls who need new shoes to make their party dresses pop! Zipping through the fancy shoe store, trying on dozens upon dozens of shoes, the girls exasperate the shopkeeper and make a royal mess. Left with their creativity in tact though, they put their minds together to make the best kind of shoes – their very own!

With vivid illustrations, a chic, glittery cover and fun rhymes, your daughter will ask you to read this book over and over. Don’t be concerned that this book puts girls into “all I want to do is be pretty” category. You’ll see friendship, individuality and ingenuity throughout the story and so will your daughter.
