There was a dad and a girl, the dad made a flying hat and then the dad said bye bye and then he went out of the Earth and then the girl had an idea, then she saw a paper, she drawed some stuff, and then when she saw the paper she saw it was a shoe. But then, it was a spring shoe, because she drawed a spring. Then when she made the spring, she tried and tried but then when she made it fully she took a cloth, she took some hand swimming things and then she put it on her hands, then she was ready to fly up. And then, when she flied up, it was like a toy, and then she loved the spring shoes. And then, she went out of the Earth and then she was going to another side of Earth and then she closed her eyes and went down, then dad saw her and then Dad wanted to catch her, and when Dad catches her, they go down, and dad asks her can you make that spring shoes for me and cat.

Wordless book about father/daughter inventors. When dad invents a helicopter hat he takes off; but his daughter wants to go with him - so she invents 'spring shoes' that allow her to jump very high! She jumps a little too high, finding herself in trouble, until dad swoops down and takes her back down! Great father/daughter story!
