For fans of Giraffes Can't Dance and Mr. Tiger Goes Wild , a creative snake insists that a shoe can be anything--and anyone can wear them! It's Snake's birthday, and he's excited to buy himself a gift--and what a marvelous gift he finds! But what is it? A planter? A bowl? A helmet? The shopkeeper and customers try to explain that it's a shoe , and furthermore, that shoes are not for someone like him. But Snake carefully, calmly, and confidently disagrees. Will the other animals be able to change their thinking? Perhaps a birthday party full of surprising objects and ideas--and a ton of dancing--is just what everyone needs to celebrate their new perspective. Written by a New York Times bestselling author and illustrated with colorful cut-paper art by a Caldecott Honor winner, this story about wearing whatever you want (however you want) will delight and encourage young readers to think for themselves.
