Rocket Shoes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ward Jenkins. José earns money to buy himself a pair of rocket shoes. High-spirited rhymes describe him and other children "zooming, zipping, hopping, soaring. / Sky-high flying, world-exploring." After some rooftop high jinks, the mayor bans the shoes until José uses the forbidden footwear to rescue a neighbor and her cat from a snowstorm. Colorful digital illustrations depict a diverse cast of characters and plenty of action.
