- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Shoebox Sam is a very nice old man who runs a shoe repair shop, but he also helps anyone who is in need. He has these two young children who help him around the shop and he teaches them to help other. He has this pair of pink ballerina shoes and one day this homeless lady comes in and Shoebox Sam tries to find her a pair of shoes that fit, she admires the ballerina shoes and Shoebox Sam gives them to her. This is a good book to teach the children about sharing and caring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Two children spend the day with "Shoebox Sam" who owns the local shoe store. During the course of the day, they learn the valuable lesson of treating others with respect and helping those who are less fortunate.
