The sight of a little brown mouse wearing green high-tops is reason alone for buying this book.
Marshall Mouse lives with his parents, Mortimer and Mabel, and uncles Grant and David in the attic of a laundry room. His favorite thing to do is peer down into the house to see what he can see. What does he see--a pair of green high-tops! Even though mice don't wear shoes, Marshall longs for his own pair of green high-tops- after all
yves saint laurent boots christian louboutin pumps Ballet Bars - All the Important In, no other mouse would have shoes like that! Day in and day out, that's all Marshall thinks about. "If I only had those shoes. They would make me an even better shortstop and we could win all the games." When Marshall's birthday rolls around, he's delighted to find the green high-top sneakers he had wanted for so long. The next morning, Marshall slips on his new kicks and heads off to play baseball with his friends. Marshall had always been one of the best players on the team, but instead of becoming a superstar, the shoes just get in the way and all Marshall does is fall flat on his face. Marshall had been so sure the shoes would make him special, but he learns one of the many lessons a mouse needs to learn: Mice don't wear shoes!
This warm tale brought back memories of getting brand new sneakers for the school year. There was nothing better than slipping on a glistening white pair and parading around school in new kicks! It made me feel as though I could run faster, jump higher, and do anything. The underlying theme that we don't need shoes or material things to make us special is a wonderful reminder in a day when we're surrounded by commercials, and marketing efforts. As Marshall finds out, you must be careful what you wish for, because it might not be all it's cracked up to be.

The illustrations by Pugh are amazing and her attention to detail brings Marshall to life. The dust billows on the ball field, and the tears that well up in Marshall's eyes glisten.

Expert foot specialty care is needed to recognize this disease, and to provide the proper months-long care needed to ensure proper healing of the foot. A diabetic should expect their foot care specialist to be quite attentive to the treatment needs of this condition, and should receive prompt and comprehensive care.As one can see, the role of an experienced foot care specialist is vital to the well being of a diabetic. Diabetics can and should expect this comprehensive level of care, and many podiatrists are well trained and experienced in offering this complete approach to the diabetic foot as a sub-specialty. Most internists and primary care physicians are not well trained in the complexity of foot structure, function, and disease, and are more than happy to refer this level of care to the foot specialist. Diabetic patients should take advantage of this opportunity, as it may make the difference between healthy feet and an amputation.
