Shoe-la-la! (A StoryPlay Book) Hardcover – Picture Book, December 27, 2016

My toddler loves shoes, and when I saw this book, I knew she'd love it. I was right... and what made this book even more fun for her was that one of the four friends in the book shares her name: Kaitlyn (the two names are even spelled the same). My Kaitlyn gets such a kick out of this, and so do I.Shoe-la-la is plain fun to read. I love the illustrations and the fact that this book is really girly. I like the rhyming and the amount of words per page is just right. My favorite thing about Shoe-la-la is the fact that the little girls end up making their own party shoes. Great moral to the story, and great fun overall!

I checked out the preview and thought to myself, this would be a great book for our book club. I ordered it and when I received it, I was impressed. It is definitely a girly-girl book. It is a board book, and the front cover has the four little girls in dress-up clothes. Their dresses are all covered with glitter....real glitter! It's not the kind of glitter that rubs off everywhere, but shiny, sparkly glitter. The book is pretty pink with girly print all the way through. I do wish, however, that the book was much bigger. It's about 6x5. It's a great size for reading to one or two little girls, but the pictures would have a better view for reading to a group of girls.The book is rhymes all the way through and the pictures are simply adorable. In the end, the girls decide to design their own shoes with the shoes they already have instead of choosing a pair from the shoe store. Great message! This book shoes what little girls do and imagine when they are "little". Add it to your library!

SO cute. It is nice to have a "girlie" board book with a good message that isn't all princess princess princess. I get really torn about "girlie" things. On the one hand, being feminine is a glorious thing, beauty is to be celebrated and enjoyed. On the other hand, i would never want any of my girls to be reduced to simply being cherished for beauty, cuteness, or girlieness. So i find this book to be an excellent happy medium. I truly wish there were more books out there like this one. I have a massive collection of truck books (which my girl loves just fine!) but can never find other topics that are a bit more feminine (without being superficial). This one hits the mark!

This book is absolutely adorable. My 18-month-old baby is obsessed with shoes so a friend of ours shared this title with us at a play date. I wanted my own. When I found out that amazon had it I was thrilled...low and behold they even had a board book version which is so much better for my baby’s grabby little hands.This book is precious. I love the colorful little illustrations as well as the storyline where (spoiler alert) the little girls learn that they don’t necessarily have to buy things to have them be special too. I love it. So do my three shoe obsessed daughters ages 8, 5, and 1.5 which means my older one reads it to her little sisters happily.

Mixed feelings. My granddaughter is obsessed with anyone's shoes - so her focus is on the shoes, not the story. I wish there were more shoes. The self decorated shoes at the end are great to show. Now, the story doesn't really fit. First, at what age do girls plan parties and go shopping alone for shoes? Not in my granddaughter's future for many many years. We will ignore the part where the girls make the salesman bring tons of shoes until he's ragged and there's a pile on the floor. By the time she understands that, I'm sure the book will no longer be of interest. The page where they are decorating shoes on the floor - it's hard to figure out what they are doing. There are no shoes in it. She will skip that part - and the page where they are dressed up. She'll look at the page where they have their decorated shoes. I don't know if whe will understand they decorated the shoes them selves. So it's a toss up. I was looking for pictures of shoes - and they are right here - with Shoe La La as a fun word - so ignoring the rest, I'll say 4.

Absolutely one of my favorite books for any shoe lover. It is a quick and enjoyable read with prose that are sing song in nature. Cute pictures and enjoyable story line a quick but fun bedtime read

I have read this book a thousand times already and we only got it a week ago! To say my daughter loves it is an understatement! Be prepared to know this one inside and out. Fun rhythm to the words and lovely illustrations.. the sparkles on the outside of the book is a nice extra touch - literally :)

Bought this book for my 2 year old daughter who loves books, and especially girly books. Although i haven't gave it to her yet, it is a present for her upcoming birthday, I have read through it and know that she will absolutely love it. It is about 4 little girls who get invited to a party and they go shoe shopping to find some new shoes. After trying on every shoe in the store and making a huge mess they run out of time, so they go home and decorate their old shoes to wear. I would recommend this to everyone it is super cute.
