Louise the Big Cheese and the La-Di-Da Shoes

40 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | February, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-7181-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Goode. Louise wants black patent leather "la-di-da" shoes; instead her mother buys her squeaky "brown laced school shoes." Conflict also arises between Louise and her best friend when Fern comes to school with fancified feet. The lesson is that special-occasion shoes hurt and are not worth losing a friend over. Lively, pink-heavy cartoon illustrations (with some blatantly adult-aimed humor) keep pace with the story.
