K-3Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! series.
Witty wordplay, snappy dialogue, and rich watercolor and collage illustrations combine in Collier's first early reader. A young African American girl chooses which shoes to wear for a day out with her father. A varied cast of googly-eyed footwear vie for her attention: "PICK US!" The series' hallmarks--a limited, repetitive word bank; color-coded speech bubbles; appearances by Gerald and Piggie; and an inherent page-turning quality--are all present and well executed.
