Birdie is eager to wear her mother's high-heeled shoes. However, when Mommy lets her play dress-up, Birdie learns that comfort is underrated. The story is a little message-y ("Birdie decided she wasn't quite ready for grown-up shoes--yet"), but the writing has verve. Stylish watercolor and collage illustrations featuring sharp lines and bold colors would be at home in a fashion magazine.
