"A delightful and hilarious book about the dangers of taking shortcuts in life. I don't know what I loved more -- Matt Pelicano's Seuss-like rhymes or Ashley Spikings' perpetually surprised sun. "Philbert LaRue is a fun and funny character!" Deb Richardson-Moore Author of The Weight of Mercy and the Branigan Powers mystery series www.debrichardsonmoore.com"What a delight to read Matt Pelicano's wonderful children's story, "Philbert LaRue had a Hole in his shoe." It is a story with a playful rhyme and an engaging rhythm. I started to giggle as soon as I read the title and never really stopped until I reached the end. Pelicano's point is made perfectly clear: that when we put off fixing a small glitch it can turn into a big problem. This story is a marvelously fresh approach to learning a very important lesson. Philbert LaRue does indeed rue the day he decides not to fix the hole in his shoe! A must read for adults and children alike." Susan Manchester, poet and artist www.susanmanchester.myfreesites.net "What happens when you take the easy way out? Nothing easy, that's for sure! "Philbert LaRue had a Hole in his Shoe" flawlessly shows the effects of procrastination that can affect both adults and children alike, and teaches you that by solving the main issue, you can avoid becoming a LaRue yourself! A great read for kids, adults, and Philbert LaRue's alike!" Sarah C. age 14
