"Look! It's my shoelace!" says this happy faced monster. And in this book there are actual laces! A smiling monster, his cat, and mouse friend pull the monster's shoelace. Is it toothpaste? Is it spaghetti? And as the author weaves these questions into the text, the shoelace is literally threaded through each page, first as the toothpaste, then the spaghetti, and finally as the shoelace. Easy-to-follow instructions and green and red laces (for left and right) ensure you'll have fun learning to tie your shoes, too.Book Details
