Description

“On this witty, wise picture book, Boelts presents a kid’s-eye view of a consumer fad that rages through school at gale force.” — BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN’S BOOKS (starred review)

All Jeremy wants is a pair of the ones shoes, the ones everyone at school appears to be wearing. Regardless that Jeremy’s grandma says they don’t have room for “want,” just “need,” when his old shoes fall apart at school, he’s more made up our minds than ever to have the ones shoes, even a thrift-shop pair which are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy soon sees that the things he has — warm boots, a loving grandma, and the risk to lend a hand a friend — are worth more than the things he wants.
