Synopsis
Baby’s got some brand new shoes that just . . . go, go, GO! By the end of a morning walk with Mom, the once-white shoes have become a rainbow of hues. Perfect for new walkers who will love to take this toddler-friendly board book edition everywhere they go!
School Library Journal
PreS-The only thing more fun than watching Baby get new shoes is seeing him get them dirty. As the story begins, a toddler and his mother are leaving a store with some "High-jumping,/fast-running,/fine-looking/shoes!" The boy leads his mother on a merry adventure across town where his white footwear gets covered in colored chalk, grass stains, plum juice, and yellow paint. Along the way, Baby and Mama exchange "Uh-ohs!" and "Oh, nos!" The story culminates in the diaper-clad youngster resplendent in "Those/speckled, spotted,/polka-dotted,/ puddle-stomping,/rainbow-romping,/go-go-going shoes," trying to flee his day-end bath. The smooth-flowing text contains wonderful repetitive phrases. The watercolor illustrations are warm and inviting and the expressions on the characters' faces are particularly delightful. A grand choice for one-on-one sharing, as well as for storytime.-Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

March 03, 2009: I have two sons, ages 3 1/2 and 1. They both climb into my lap with this book in hand to be read to them again and again! My three-year-old especially loves to say the repeated lines with me "Baby says Uh Oh! Mommy says Oh No! But those shoes just GO GO GO!" with enthusiam (and volume)! It has great rhythm and rhyme, adorable illustrations, and a really fun little storyline that truly illustrates life with a strong-willed and energetic little one! We love it!
