Bossy Boots

A funny, beautifully illustrated story that will appeal to any child who has ever been called a bossy Boots! Sophie thinks it is unfair that she is often called a Bossy Boots. But things get worse when she puts her feet into a mischievous pair of brand new shiny boots, who speak in rhyme and lead her on a merry dance through the streets, up and down her bedroom walls, across the ceiling and into all sorts of adventures - and trouble. Sophie gets the blame for everything and you can imagine what people think when she says, "it was the boots that did it, not me....".Well, it does not sound very likely, does it? An exciting funny chapter book for girls. Some Reviews Lou USA 5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect chapter book! Verified Purchase What a delightful book! Simple, engaging story with underlying morals and plenty of humor. The illustrations are crisp and colorful and small enough to break up the monotony of words on a page for young beginning/intermediate readers. Great balance between dialogue and exposition. This story reminded me of The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Anderson. Not a book to be picked over! ruth UK 5.0 out of 5 stars Good story Verified Purchase This is a good story for reading aloud at bedtime. It's sometimes hard to find a good book with chapters that is both exciting and can be read in one or two sittings. Most chapter books (in which the plot has time to develop) will take several evenings to read through, so this fills that gap nicely. The story is fast-paced and thrilling. The illustrations are lovely. Richy22 5.0 out of 5 stars for my granddaughter's 7th birthday and she loved it. She can sometimes be a bit of ...

Verified Purchase Cute early chapter book for beginning readers. Sophie has just finished shopping with her mother who has bought her a new pair of shoes. Suddenly a mischievous pup steals one of her shoes; she finds her naked foot standing in a puddle. An old woman in the store comes to the rescue by coming up with a pair of boots in a box behind the counter. When Sophie tries the boots on, she hears a squeaky voice. Sophie finds herself running down the street disrupting traffic, walking up and down the walls in her room and generally wreaking havoc. Of course Sophie now secretly gets a bit of pleasure from her talented feet. One day, the inevitable happens when the boots become too small for Sophie’s feet. What will happen to Sophie now? Will the mischievous boots find a new owner or will they be condemned to life in a box behind the counter? I would recommend this book for children ages six and older. The illustrations interspersed within the chapters enhance understanding of the story. This humorous and easy to follow plot also makes the book a good choice for reluctant readers or children with special needs.
