Author Illustrator Sarit Gilor has come up with another well-considered book for children - one that entertains with an adventure while teaching important behaviors and a bit about the outside world.Jason awakens on the first day of kindergarten and discovers he has lost a shoe. After searching his room and his home he steps out into the world (wearing only one shoe) and visits the grocery story, the vegetable shop, the bakery, the stationery store, the post office (at each stop he is informed just what that store sells), and finally a shoe store where he finds his shoe among the many pairs on sale to the public. The kind saleslady explains that the shoe was probably playing with the other shoes and didn't know the way home without Jason's help.  Jason sees the need to `teach his shoe how to go to kindergarten' - and in general the idea is how to not lose your possessions and how to remember not to forget where they have been misplaced.This is a fun little story with many introductions to information that children of this age group will do well to absorb. Sarit Gilor continues to make learning fun. Gary Harp, July 13
