    About this ebook

    Abby loves her pink and brown sandals with the lime green trim, and she wears them wherever she goes. But as summer draws to a close, Abby’s mom announces that it’s time for the sandals to go. Abby is determined to keep them on — until one day, while swinging at the park, her sandals flip off and fly away.

    All winter long, Abby wonders what her sandals are up to. Postcards of sandy white beaches and glorious sunsets reassure her that they are having a wonderful time in far away places.

    Come February, Abby realizes that she has also grown to love her cozy, comfy boots. As the warm weather comes, she watches sadly as they march off, but a swish in the sky announces the return of her pink and brown sandals — all ready for another summer of fun.

    Full of whimsy, this circular tale is enhanced by rich, evocative language and delicate pastel illustrations that are sure to delight any young child.

      Book was not interesting, told about a girl and her adventures in her pink and brown sandals that had lime green trim. She told of all her adventures and what she did with her sandals. One day she was swinging on the swings and they flew off, then her mom bought her new boots and she learned to love them. At the end the boots left and her sandals came back. The message was to learn how seasons change and so do our wardrobe changes.

      A Flock of Shoes was one of those rare books that she not only wanted reread, but it was one that she bragged about to all of our relatives.The circular aspects of the story make it very easy for children to realize and identify with the plot. And the simple use of changing shoes, opens up numerous opportunities to discuss time and season changes with preschoolers.We all found this story likable and adorable. A Flock of Shoes is an endearing read for any child 2-6.
