Read NZ ~ After school Eleanor rides home on the bus, barefoot, with a sinking feeling… ‘Shoe Trouble‘ is the story of a little girl named Eleanor who keeps forgetting her shoes. This is a short and sweet picture book that parents and children will be able to relate to. ‘Shoe Trouble‘ is a comfortably predictable story with a leading ending that will be enjoyed by all kindy and young school children and their families.
Bob’s Book Blog ~ Every parents worry is that your children will lose their belongings at school through forgetfulness. School lost property bins are the most clogged in any school. Eleanor is no different to any other child but very annoying. Lisa Allen’s superb pastel water colour illustrations enhance Eleanor Neil’s witty text with her facial expressions on the character’s faces, priceless. Children will relate well to this good read-a-loud for juniors.
