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! <p/> 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! <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A clever approach to the common experience of separation anxiety."-- "Booklist"<br><br>"Levis' concept of associating specific shoes with specific bonding activities is charming...<b> </b>Dynamic and colorful."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Caron Levis</b> is the author of several picture books for children, including Ida, Always, which won a Christopher Award.
