There once was a baby who hid in a shoe, and had learnt how to say 'How do you do?' In a shoe you might think there is not much to do, but this very same baby went to sea in that shoe! And so the baby's journey continues... But where are his parents? Could they be the two giants looking for a baby and a shoe?

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–In a shoe you might think/There is not much to do, but for the baby who is hiding in it, it becomes a boat to sail away in, a car for going to the zoo, a plane, and even a place to hold a tea party for the king and queen. How do you do? asks the delighted child as he travels the world. But when Papa laments his lost shoe and Mama cries over the loss of her baby, the youngster grows and grows until he grows Right out of that shoe! With his gleeful Peekaboo!' the three are reunited. The pictures breathe life into the brief text. The whimsical mixed-media cartoon illustrations are saturated with color. Baby's shoe, a brilliant red with decorative buttons and blue-and-white striped laces, stands out on a page of other fancy footwear. The zoo houses a giraffe with blue polka dots, a blue monkey, and a blue elephant sporting red shoes. Flying birds bear designs of hearts, stars, and pinwheels. This bit of fantasy, paired with Beatrice Schenk de Regniers's What Can You Do with a Shoe? (S & S, 1997) may encourage youngsters to come up with unusual possibilities for the objects around them.–Marianne Saccardi, Norwalk Community College, CT
