This wonderful children's picture book written and illustrated by Wallace Edwards offers transport to an imaginative world of wonders where a diverse group of animals and special collection of things are all bonded together to form a colorful and zany new community. Uncle Wally, a tiger dressed in his red-and-white pajamas, has lost one of his shoes. It draws the attention of a curious kitten who sits down inside the shoe and begins to drive around. This adorable little one is then tickled by a pig in a fancy hat who is chased by a frog on stilts . . . and on it goes in its own merry way.
The cumulative text is based on the well-known nursery rhyme "The House That Jack Built." Designed for children 4 through 8 years old, the illustrations are remarkable paintings filled with animals and inanimate things. By the end of Uncle Wally's Old Brown Shoe, both adult readers and children lucky enough to receive this book as a gift will find themselves wanting to enter the wonder worlds of Edwards again and again in order to spot new delights! The spiritual message of the story is that life becomes a jolly ride when we see that we are all connected.
