This book describes what happens when you go to buy shoes in 12 simple clear pictures.

It can be used before a child goes to the shops to buy shoes, to prepare the child as to what is likely to happen at the shop.

I use the book as a visual aid to support my son. I use it to help prepare him for the fact that he will need to choose which shoes he wants to try, to wait his turn, that a stranger will need to measure his feet, and that it is important the shoes feel comfortable as well as look nice. But most of all I use it to help him understand what is going to happen and so as to reduce his anxiety about this new experience for him.
