Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In vivid illustrations by Nikolai Popov, shoes are transformed into transportation for every creature, be it giraffe, alligator, mouse or elephant. An ingenious imagination enlivens these flights of fancy where shoes and other familiar objects become boats, motorcycles, houses, and many other unlikely vehicles. Come join this amusing shoe parade!
A cat rides in a wheeled shoe with a slingshot in tow. A cheerful elephant zooms along in a fine gray boot. And further down the road, a duck makes his way toward the water in a mobile pump. What could be happening here? What's happening is that Nikolai Popov's imagination has run wild! Here the internationally celebrated artist has mashed up an animal menagerie with a shoe shop to give us a madcap collection of hilarious animals on their way to who knows where. Paired with fun rhymes, this combination of zany animals in zany vehicles is an irresistible recipe for fun.
