Shoes by Yvette Cragun, Myra Romano (Illustrator)

Flip-flops for the beach, sassy flats for shopping or black heels for a night out on the town--Mom's closet has the perfect pair of shoes for any occasion. Playing dress-up for a while can be fun, but at the end of the day, one little girl learns that she doesn't need to be in a hurry to fill her mom's shoes.

I don't think there is a child out there who hasn't wanted to wear their parents shoes.  My kids sure did- all the time.  This book is about a young girl trying on her mother's shoes and imagining herself in different places with them on.  The words have great rhythm and rhyme.  The illustrations are bright and happy.  It's a great book to read aloud to young children.  Very cute!
