Shoes News also in the UK and can be ordered internationally through Amazon and most internet book stores.

SHOES NEWS
Review Highlights

Herald Sun
Shoes News
An unusual and humourous look at the history of the shoe……..It's all make-believe and firmly tongue in cheek.
In a word: quirky


Australian Book Review
Shoes News
'It is likely to be hilarious if you are about ten…..This one's for the young absurdist, so it's all carried to the ridiculous, but that's the point.'


Review by Jane Doonan in 'The School Librarian'
Shoes News
"Put this 'special edition on your shelf so that everyone can dip in….outrageous propositions, multitude of fanciful facts and dazzling typography."



Review by Allbooks Reviews
Shoes News
'Australian author Jacqui Grantford has a unique way with illustrations and presentation.
As always, Ms. Grantford's illustrations are excellent. ………..The format is interesting and definitely different. Content is humorous yet educational. The book is colorful, engaging and entertaining from first page to last.'
