What another wonderful book by Nikki Grimes. This collection of poems is about children trying on different shoes which makes them imagine they are different things. I love the idea of this because all children have imaginations that just don't stop. I think that shoes is a great way to get those different directions to their thinking. In their shoes they can be anything they want or go anywhere they want. My favorite poem in this book is the one titled "Here Come the Clowns". This is a cute poem that vividly describes a clown. The illustrations in this book are also very good. I love the fact that the shoes are emphasized so much. In every picture the feet are abnormally big, drawing your attention to them even more. The people look almost like cartoon characters because of the disproportional body parts.
