Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? by Justin Rhodes is a beautifully illustrated (Heather Dickinson) fun book to read with young children。 This book is a dust-jacketed hardcover children's book aimed at young children under age seven that is 32 pages long。 It measures about 9 1/2 inches by 10 inches in size--an especially fun size for reading together。Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? is written by a popular YouTube homesteader that I honestly wasn't familiar with before reading this book。 However, Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? by Justin Rhodes is a beautifully illustrated (Heather Dickinson) fun book to read with young children。 This book is a dust-jacketed hardcover children's book aimed at young children under age seven that is 32 pages long。 It measures about 9 1/2 inches by 10 inches in size--an especially fun size for reading together。Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? is written by a popular YouTube homesteader that I honestly wasn't familiar with before reading this book。 However, I think this book has some great messages for both young children and their parents/caregivers。 I love that this book is written from the point of view of the father。 I don't see as many books with Dad as the main character。 Mr。 Brown is his young son in this book。 Rhodes and his wife have five children, which all show up in the beautiful watercolor illustrations of the family on their homestead。 Throughout the story, the father and the boy travel around the farm looking for his shoes--past the cows, chickens, garden and more。 At the back of the book, there is a note from the author where he shares his joy in being a father and some of the joys and challenges of parenting。 I think Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? is a great book for both children and parents。 I highly recommend it for families interesting in learning about the farm and the role of fathers/children。I received a copy of this book from the publisher。 All opinions within this review are my own。 。。。more
Susan Shipe,
A story about a little boy who apparently is easily side-tracked and scattered。 The story is set at the family farm and a very busy farmer who happens to be the father of several children。 The Dad calls the eldest son, "Mr。 Brown," and it all begins when Dad announces he needs help with farm chores and Mr。 Brown cannot find his shoes。The search continues in the house, the roof, and all around the homestead。 The illustrations are pretty and the reader could certainly have some learning moments wi A story about a little boy who apparently is easily side-tracked and scattered。 The story is set at the family farm and a very busy farmer who happens to be the father of several children。 The Dad calls the eldest son, "Mr。 Brown," and it all begins when Dad announces he needs help with farm chores and Mr。 Brown cannot find his shoes。The search continues in the house, the roof, and all around the homestead。 The illustrations are pretty and the reader could certainly have some learning moments with all the interesting scenes。 Dad and son share a day of bonding and connecting - literally as Mr。 Brown rides on Dad's shoulders all day。 I don't read that the shoes were ever found。I'm not sure I'd spend $18。99 on this book but as a read-aloud it would provide entertainment for those under the age of ten。 。。。more

Denise Anderson,
A very sweet book with wonderful illustrations。 Love that the book shows a farm and a big family。 Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the name of the featured child (mr brown) makes the book confusing in the beginning。 The reason for the name is explained in the author note, so best to start there in my opinion。
Cover Lover Book Review,
Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? is a sweet book that illuminates the fine balance between a dad teaching his son a life lesson and simply enjoying time with him。The son misplaces his shoes and even though the rest of the family searches with him, they’re nowhere to be found。 He can’t do chores on the farm barefooted, so Papa finds a solution that allows them to spend quality time together。 Some children might be a little confused that the son is referred to as Mr。 Brown (rather than the dad。) T Where Are Your Shoes, Mr。 Brown? is a sweet book that illuminates the fine balance between a dad teaching his son a life lesson and simply enjoying time with him。The son misplaces his shoes and even though the rest of the family searches with him, they’re nowhere to be found。 He can’t do chores on the farm barefooted, so Papa finds a solution that allows them to spend quality time together。 Some children might be a little confused that the son is referred to as Mr。 Brown (rather than the dad。) The illustrations are charming and the story oozes with warmth。 I love how the story promotes familial bonding。First Lines: “Rise and shine,” Papa called。 “There’s lots of work to do on the farm today。”Genre: Children’s Farm LifeAuthor: Justin RhodesPage Count: 32Reading Age: 4-7#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions are 100% mine。 。。。more
