Synopsis
Baby loves his brand-new white shoes, taking them all over the neighborhood while his frantic mom chases behind him. But he just can't resist stomping through puddles, squishing fallen plums, and dancing in fresh paint. It isn't long before those white, high-jumping, fast-running shoes are speckled and spotted with every color of the rainbow. Dashka Slater's delightful, rhythmic text and Hiroe Nakata's jaunty illustrations are the perfect match for this playful tale of fun, sun, and fabulous shoes!

From Booklist
*Starred Review* PreS. Gleeful after choosing new white shoes at the store, Baby (actually a toddler) leads his pregnant mama on a merry chase. As they head home, Baby playfully explores the park, where grass, plums, fresh crosswalk paint, and more add their distinctive hues to his increasingly "polka-dotted, / puddle-stomping, / rainbow-romping, / go-go-going shoes." In the text, loping lines of rhymed couplets are interspersed with staccato sections, followed by a refrain that reins in the pace: "Baby says, 'Uh-oh!'/ Mama says, 'Oh, no!' / But those shoes just go, go, go." The verse may at first seem a bit challenging to read aloud, but the changing rhythm creates a pleasing pattern and gives listeners places to chime in. Setting a sunny tone for the excursion, Nakata's airy watercolor artwork sympathetically depicts an increasingly scruffy toddler and his tired but resilient mother. With a buoyant tone in both verse and illustrations, this book will be a fine addition to story hours and, given young children's affinity for shoes, a great conversation starter. Carolyn Phelan
