Bookroo's summary

Join four energetic children as they embark on playful adventures, each step powered by their unique shoes. From skating to flipping, their footwear takes them on a whirlwind of fun. What secrets do these shoes hold, and how do they transform ordinary days into extraordinary escapades? Dive into this rhythmic journey and find out how a simple pair of shoes can spark endless imagination and joy.

From the publisher

Here are ‘shoes to skate in, shoes to skip in, shoes to turn a double flip in ’ . . . all worn by four tousle-headed active young children. ‘Illustrations keep all the action with the skippers, divers, and doers. Story hour groups will be checking out each other’s footwear after hearing this rollicking rhyming paean to shoes.’ —SLJ. A Reading Rainbow Selection Children’s Books of 1986 (Library of Congress)
