An Easy Reader for Little Shoe Lovers
If you have an aspiring fashionista on your hands, Shoe Garden and Other Shoe Stories by Joyce Fishman and Brenda Finne is the perfect addition to her library. This charming collection of easy reader stories is a young shoe lover’s dream.
There are four stories in this 64-page book:
- Shoe Garden
- Shoe Dreams
- When Shoes Can Fly
- Butterfly Shoes
Each story is told with rhyming text and colorful illustrations that feature sneakers, ballet slippers, sandals, high heels, and more. This would be a great book for a kindergartner or first grader who is just learning to read independently. The pictures help capture your child’s interest and the story is simple enough to help a new reader gain confidence in her skills.
The authors of Shoe Garden and Other Shoe Stories are sisters who began writing their first shoe story as a gift for their younger sister Ivy. Fashion aside, Fishman and Finne enjoy writing about shoes because of their unique ability to express the wearer’s personality and his or her life journey.
Shoe Garden and Other Shoe Stories is the first book in Fishman and Finne’s Shoe Banter collection. Their followup volume will be aimed at an adult audience. You can learn more about their work by visiting their website at shoebanter.com. The site includes questions and activities to help young readers enhance their understanding of Shoe Garden and Other Shoe Stories.
Shoe Garden and Other Shoe Stories can be purchased on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle ebook.
