Isabella's Shoe Studio: Read! Doodle! Create!    by Violet Lemay Order:  USA  Can Duo Press, 2013 (2013) Softcover     Reviewed by Bob Walch Welcome to my shoe studio. My name is Isabella Ivory Edleston-Finch and I am eight years, seven months, three weeks and four days old. I'm going to show you how to have fun designing some really cool shoes. Since this is a Doodle Storybook you'll be able to read my story while you use colored pencils to doodle and create some really fun stuff. Before we get to the shoes I'm going to give you a chance to design a hat for me and some dresses, and then draw a few farm animals and people. Now once that's done we'll get down to the basics – SHOES! You'll have lots to do and be able to practice your art and coloring skills as you read my story. You don't have to be a special age to enjoy my book but it would be a good idea if you can (a) read and (b) handle a pencil with ease and (c) stay within in the lines when you color something. Well, I don't always stay inside the lines so maybe that's not crucial! Have a good time in my shoe studio and be sure to share your creations with your mom, dad and also your friends. You may invite them to help out in the studio if you want ... that's up to you! Well, I have to get to work now. I have a brilliant idea for some wild stockings that I want to get down on paper. Bye!
