What Kind of Shoes Does a Hippopotamus Choose? Synopsis

From award-winning shoe designer Kat Maconie comes a rollicking rhyming tale about many critters and the numerous shoes they wear.

Everyone knows that gators love waders
for splishing and splashing around.
While up on the docks you'll find spiky-toothed crocs
in stilettos for going to town.

But what kind of shoes does a hippopotamus choose?

This gorgeously witty picture book will delight and entertain readers of all ages. Readers will love calling out the cats in smart ballet flats, the bears wearing boat shoes, donkeys in mules embellished with jewels, and many, many more. With stunning illustrations by Sebastien Braun, What Kind of Shoes Does a Hippopotamus Wear? will be a book destined to be picked up and read over and over again.

Praise for What Kind of Shoes Does a Hippopotamus Choose?:
