Suzy's Shoes
Illustrated by Pricilla Lamont
Suzy liked her shoes on, but most of all she liked to take them off. Everyone gave her reasons why she should wear them, but Suzy din't see it that way as the gentle detailed illustrations show. It takes a pair of shiny new shoes with bows, and a visit to the Queen to convince her that shoes are best kept on - or are they? A highly enjoyable story where the mismatch between the text and what is revealed in the pictures is a reading lesson in itself.
