There's something in that tall bamboo.
Oh, my goodness! It's a shoe!
A mouse comes across a shoe and sets out to find its owner. A conscientious
role model, this determined mouse asks an unlikely assortment of animals if
the shoe belongs to them, hears about their own shoes, and receives a
surprising reward at the end. Eve Bunting's cheerful rhymed text and Sergio
Ruzzier's charmingly unique illustrations make this a delightful book to
share with a young child.
