This was my favorite book as a kid. We went to the library once a week and I checked it out over and over and over. The book has been out of print for a long time but my sister, who is normally a straight-arrow, stole it and gave it to me for my 21st birthday. Just thought I'd share that.

I remember my mom used to love reading this book to me when I was a little girl ...one of my many favorites...I enjoyed having it read to me a lot😊... *Giggles* I even fantasized being that little girl in the storybook going shopping for blue shoes with my mom lol

I had forgotten all about this book but it used to be another one of my favourites! I remember thinking of myself as the little girl in the story, lovely story to read to young girls!

I really missed one of my favorite childhood books so had to track down "New Blue Shoes" and enjoy it again. Reading it feels like home.

In connection: "Down, Down the Mountain" by Ellis Credle.

Just loved this book as a kid and haven't been able to find it till now! I thought maybe I had imagined it all. And of course the library doesn't own it either. Loved this book!
