Description
The Red Shoes is now available in paperback! All of the shoes in the shoe store are plain and dull except for one pair: the apple red shoes, just waiting to be picked. The little girl knows that they are the shoes for her, but can she convince her mom? This cheerful tale is matched with charming illustrations that depict the fashions of the 1960s.

Excerpt: The Red Shoes (by (author) Eleri Glass; illustrated by Ashley Spires)
From The Red Shoes, written by Eleri Glass, illustrated by Ashley Spires:
"My feet huff, puff
like two tired trains.
So many shoes
squatting on the shelves,
white and brown, lace-ups
and boots.
My eyes hunt,
my toes tingle.
They call me from the corner,
ruby whispers,
shiny silver giggles.
I slip my hands inside
and walk them across the shelf.
Sing a tiny shoe tune.
Mom picks up the lace-ups.
I pull on her hand.
'The Red ones, Mom.'"
