Amazing Adventures in Shelby's Shoes by MelissaHarker Ridenour is a creative children's book about a young girl namedShelby. One day, Shelby had a cold, and wasn't allowed to go outside toplay. Instead, she goes through her mother's closet and plays dress upwith her mother's clothes. She finds lots of different shoes, likeballet shoes, cowgirl boots, and hiking boots. Shelby tries on eachshoe, and has different adventures. She becomes an astronaut, a cowgirl, a golfer, and a famous movie star. What kind of adventures will Shelbyhave next in her shoes?
I really enjoyed reading Amazing Adventures in Shelby's Shoes by Melissa Harker Ridenour. The book is very well written and the rhyming is verywell done. The book is well developed and thought out. The story isinspirational, and it teaches children that you can be anything if youare determined enough. This book will bring a smile to children's facesas they read it. The book was really creative, and it was cool to seewhat Shelby would imagine next. The characters are very likeable,because Shelby is very imaginative. The pictures by Veronica Castle arecolourful and depict each scene, and each adventure, very well. Thepictures of Shelby's dog are adorable. Parents will enjoy reading thisbook to their child, and children will want to read this book over andover again. I would definitely recommend this book to all young readers.
"AmazingAdventures in Shelby's Shoesis a sweet and funny story that offers a valuable life lesson to any child: Believein yourself; you can be anything you want to be. As Shelby instantlytransforms herself by changing her shoes, children feel it's okay to 'try on'different interests and activities to see what is the 'best fit' for them. Shelby'sShoes also sends the message to parents that allowing our children to pursuea variety of interests gives them the freedom and autonomy to make their ownempowered choices, and thrive once they find the 'perfect fit'. Shelby and heradventures are delightfully brought to life through the fun, unique, andengaging artwork of illustrator, Sanghamitra Dasgupta."

"In Amazing Adventures in Shelby's Shoes, the author hascreated a delightful combination of fun rhyme and great imagination. The storyteaches children that no matter where their inspirations may take them, thereis always that possibility of dreams coming true, especially if the desire forthem to happen is strong enough. This is a story children of all ages willenjoy!"
