5.0 out of 5 stars Shoes is a wonderful read aloud book for youngsters., July 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Shoes (Library Binding)
As a media specialist, I have thoroughly enjoyed using SHOES with my first graders and kindergarteners. The children love to take off their shoes and wiggle those toes. They also enjoy anticipating the next page. This book is a must for any elementary library and for the home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, July 20, 2008
This book features a variety of children showing various rhymed type of shoes - too low, too high, shoes to buckle, shoes to tie - until the very end, the best shoes of all, your bare feet.

Very cute, cute illustrations, cute text, simple enough for the youngest child - love it.

One problem. For a book published in the late 80s, there's not much in the way of diversity in this book. In fact, there isn't a single child (or adult) in the book that I could point to and positively say "That kid isn't white".

That doesn't make the book bad, or racist - it just is very visible. Although I suppose it's possible all the kids are supposed to be part of the same family, that's not clear to me.
