Description
A little centipede buys shoes to protect his feet, but finds that they are a lot of trouble to put on and take off.
Quick Summary
Kids will giggle at the silly problem of trying to put on and take off 100 shoes, and they'll love rooting for the centipede as he figures out his footwear dilemma. If your kid likes funny, picture-book humor like "Dragons Love Tacos" or "The Pout-Pout Fish," this wacky story about a multi-legged creature and his massive shoe collection is a perfect match. With its short 447-word count and AR Level 2.8, this book is ideal for kindergarten through first-grade readers.
