Synopsis: Jimmy and Janet can't wait to grow up. So when it's time to buy new shoes for these fast-growing four-year-olds, off to the shoe store they go. There they discover bright red boots that will stretch and grow along with them--just the thing for "growing-up feet."

Craft ideas:

• Trace your feet on a piece of paper, and draw inside it all of your favorite things to do, or what you want to be when you grow older.
• Do you have a favorite piece of clothing that you wear all the time? What is it?
