I'll be honest. Lately I wonder if my children are really my offspring. They have been bringing home the most horrid books from the library. No good story, no good illustrations. Seriously there are only so many Scooby-doo adventures this mom can take. But then last week a miracle occurred. My oldest brought home this book and the angel choirs sang in the background. Who knows what this week will bring but at least my sanity has been restored for a while at least.
Synopsis
Uncle Wally's shoe goes on an adventure through dream land. It is written in the same vein as The House that Jack Built.
My Thoughts
The pictures in this book were gorgeous. I loved the tiger theme throughout. Sometimes you saw an actual tiger, sometimes it was the pattern on a scarf. It was really neat. The pictures were truly a treat for your eyes as you looked in every corner to find something new and whimsical. They were serious magic.
I loved the rhythm and rhyme that the book followed. My kids were excited to see what the shoe was going to be used for next. The story wasn't as exciting the pictures but hey, you can't have everything. And the pictures more than made up for anything that was lacking in the story.
This is definitely one that I want on my shelf.
