Inspired by his favorite story about a cat with fantastic boots, dog heads to the local shoe store and emerges with some splendid footwear. But Dog soon discovers that his fancy shoes won't let him do doggy things. He tries flippers, high heels, even skis, but can't find anything that is just right. Could the perfect solution be right under his nose? Wants and needs are contrasted through the process of trial and error in this cheerful picture book illustrated by an artist whose work Publishers Weekly has called "exceptionally adorable."
