A glittering magical adventure about a girl, a bear and some very special shoes from the bestselling creators of What the Ladybird Heard and Sugarlump and the Unicorn.
When Josephine leaves the shoe shop after buying some new running shoes, she hears an unusual sound – Click-click! Click-click! A bear with a backpack is following her! Luckily for Josephine, her new shoes are anything but ordinary – these are magic shoes. But can they help her escape the bear when there’s a mountain, a bog and even a lake in her way?
The Girl, the Bear and the Magic Shoes is an exciting adventure from the stellar picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard. Written in fast-paced, engaging prose that’s full of action and imagination, and with a delightfully unexpected ending, this gorgeously glittery book is one to enjoy over and over again.
Enjoy all the stories from Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks: Sharing a Shell, The Princess and the Wizard, The Rhyming Rabbit, The Singing Mermaid, Sugarlump and the Unicorn, Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox, What the Ladybird Heard, What the Ladybird Heard Next and What the Ladybird Heard on Holiday.

We liked the girl Josephine and the way she enjoyed the magic shoes. It was funny that the bear went to the shoe shop instead of fish shop.

I love the girl because she did not remember to get her old shoes.I like the book because the girl did not know that the bear would not eat her.I even enjoyed the magical shoes.

It was good because it was about a girl called Josephine who wears glasses and I wear glasses. There are glittery bumps. The bear meant to go to the fish shop next door, not the shoe shop. There were cats, gruffallo wellies and what the ladybird heard wellies in the shop. It is the same author as the Sugarlump and the Unicorn and What the ladybird heard and The Singing Mermaid. I have Sugarlump and the Unicorn. The magic shoes turn into blue snow boots, green skis, yellow wellies, orange flippers and pink ballet shoes on an island.
