Illustrated by
Mike Laughead.
"Feet got bigger, / heel to toe. / Time for new shoes. Off we go!" Shoe-shopping soon overwhelms a young hippo and her mother--all those options! The hunt for the perfect footwear--glittery or polka-dotted or even car-shaped--all shown in Laughead's friendly illustrations, will resonate with shoe hounds, young and old. Bouncy rhyming text makes for an enjoyable read-aloud.
