Miles knows what he wants, and he wants them in red! His sneakers, he tells the sales clerk, must have all the latest features: long attachable toes, suction-cup grips for windy- day sailing on slippery ships, inflatable floats propelled by small motors -- to mention a few. The salesman knows just the right shoe. But there's a small problem.... Miles ends up with perfect footwear in this toe-tapping tale, but it's not what he expected. Written in jaunty verse, and illustrated with gleefully exaggerated artwork.
