New Shoes, Red Shoes by Susan Rollings
Two shoes, small shoes, off to get some new shoes! This simple and very young picture book, with its bouncy, rhyming text, large illustrations and lovely large type follows a little girl and her mother on their journey to buy some new shoes. On the bus and through the park to the shoe shop - there are different kinds of shoes every-where. Back home again with the lovely shiny new shoes, and then it's party time. These are dancing shoes! The rythmic, rhyming text and bold colourful images make this a perfect first picture book.
