If you don't know it already, we are doing some major remodeling on the second floor of the library. One of the benefits of shifting thousands of books is getting a chance to see books that are so slim they get overlooked - like today's selection, Shoes to Live in Iowa, a paperback book with less than 70 pages.
Author John Ellerbach and illustrator Scott Fabritz have a way of poking fun of Iowa without being mean. Although the jokes are tongue-in-cheek, there is a lot of trivia about the state that you can use to amaze all of your friends.
All I ask is that you don't tell friends who live in surrounding states about this book. The way I look at it, Minnesota has enough jokes about Iowa without adding to it!
Shoes to Live in Iowa is on the second floor under the call # 977.7 ELL. If you have trouble finding it, because of its slender size, be sure to ask for my help at the reference desk. Maybe with two pairs of eyes we can find it on the shelf if we are lucky.
