Description
All about the adjustment a toddler makes when her mother
returns to work, this humorous picture book takes on a big emotional
milestone with a light hand.
Perry knows all of Mama's shoes. She knows that the zip-zup shoes are
for skipping and swinging in the park. She knows that the pat-put shoes
are for splishing and splashing in the rain. And she knows that no-shoes
are for bath time and bedtime. But, one morning Mama puts on
click-clack shoes, and Perry wonders what these new shoes are for. When
Mama drops Perry at Nan's house, and the click-clack shoes take Mama
away for the whole day, Perry decides she hates these shoes!
Perry later hides the click-clack shoes . . . and all of Mama's shoes,
just in case. Mama then explains that the click-clack shoes bring her to
work in the morning, and they will also bring her home to Perry every
single evening-clickety-clack fast!
