Kip the Kangaroo's New Shoes
A Shoe-Shopping Adventure for All Kinds of Feet
In Kip the Kangaroo’s New Shoes, Kip and his friends are on a mission: it’s time for new shoes! But not just any shoes — ones that fit just right for each of their very different feet.
Kip, Fred the Frog, Tilly the Turtle, and Blue the Bird hop, flap, and shuffle their way through store after store, trying on pairs that are too big, too fancy, too slippery — and definitely not made for flippers, claws or turtle feet. Just when they’re ready to give up, they discover a wonderful shop that carries shoes for everyone — no matter how unique their feet may be.
This upbeat and inclusive story celebrates friendship, diversity, and the idea that there’s something out there for everyone. With whimsical illustrations in the signature Kip animation style and a cheerful message, Kip the Kangaroo’s New Shoes is perfect for kids ages 3 to 7.
