Excerpt: Rainbow Shoes (by (author) Tiffany Stone; illustrated by Stefan Czernecki)
What to wear? What to choose? Pick a pair of rainbow shoes.
Or purple pants from aunts in France that make you want to strut and prance.
Pink pj's for pirate naps with pockets to hide treasure maps.
Red rubber boots, the robot kind.
Editorial Reviews
★[Starred review] "Bouncy verse and clever illustrations help teach kids colors...an ideal mix...Stone and Czernecki's text and illustrations are in perfect harmony. Consistently surprising and equally delightful."
