Mama's Work Shoes (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419725548)

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
