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?

I enjoyed reading the book, especially the phrases “Yes you will, Oh yes you will. Just start… and don’t stand still”
, I loved the different shoes, I wish I had magic shoes
Good book
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.
My favourite part was all the words.
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 but not amazing
I liked this book because there were magic shoes!
I liked the story.
I want magic shoes too …i can swim, ski, run on muddy land and more
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.
It was good
I enjoyed this book visually because some pages had raised bumps and glitter I also enjoyed the story
I liked the part when the girl and the bear run and the bear got the shoes for the girl.
I love this book especially as the main character is called Josephine like me!

I liked the magic shoes because they had voices and the magic shoes turned into different things.
I like all the different shoes and they became friends at the end.
We love Julia Donaldson stories

I loved the magic shoes, I want some too!
We liked the funny shoes, all had different voices.
We were excited by the bear creeping up,
And relieved when he was friendly!
Great book!!
I loved this because it has a nice texture on the pages for the trees. I liked when the shoes turned into flippers so the girl could swim.
It was fiction and it interested me.
I would recommend it to my friends.
I really liked this story. I like joining in with the shoes chant.
This is one of my favourite books. I love how the shoes are magical and change into different types of shoes to help the little girl. I really like the ending when she dances with the bear.
I liked the pictures because th
I enjoyed the ending finding out the bear is nice. I preferred the girls as her shoes were magic.
I loved it!
I love this book because I love the catchy song the shoes make when Josephine says she can't do things, they remind her that she can! I liked Josephine the best and would recommend that anyone would enjoy reading this book.
