From the Back Cover

They weren't magic in the usual way. They didn't glow or throw off sparks or walk around by themselves. A miniature genie didn't live inside them. But when William put them on, he could go anywhere he wanted.

Who doesn't yearn to travel to exotic and fantastic places and see the world in all its splendor, to discover ancient as well as modern-day cultures and peoples--all in the blink of an eye?

Scott Emerson and Howard Post give full rein to imagination as they tell the story of William, who is able to travel with his dog, Bob, anyplace in time and space that he desires--all because of his magic, red cowboy boots--he thinks!

Beautifully illustrated, The Magic Boots explores the feelings of wanderlust in young and old alike. It's a delightful story to read again and again.

Every morning when William Wilkins got out of bed, he brushed his teeth, patted his dog, Bob, and put on his cowboy boots.

They weren''t just ordinary boots. For one thing, they were bright red. They were soft, too, as soft as Bob''s ears.

But the most unordinary thing about William''s cowboy boots was this: they were magic.
