She felt beautiful. She felt glamorous. She felt like a movie star...Birdie likes to cartwheel. She likes to dance. And she especially likes playing with her dog, Monster. But more than anything, Birdie loves her mother's high-heeled shoes. When her mother finally relents and allows Birdie to spend a whole day wearing her glamorous high-heels, Birdie discovers that 'big-girl' shoes keep her from doing all of her favourite things, like playing hide-and-seek, spinning on her hands and practising her dance moves.

It’s years since he last changed his t-shirt
It’s crusty and crawling with ants
His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside
And potatoes grow out of his pants

Kids will absolutely LOVE him.
