New Blue Shoes

Eve Rice
(Red Fox)
978-0099299516, RRP £3.50, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "New Blue Shoes (Red Fox beginners)" on Amazon

A reprint of an old favourite of mine about a right young madam who wants blue shoes ... until she gets them. Mama handles it all very well, however, and Rebecca is reconciled to her new blue shoes - and her mama - at the end of the story. Nicely produced with clear, simple pictures and print, plus a story recognisable enough to hundreds of little girls (and boys) and their long-suffering parents.
