Title Ida's new shoes
Original Publication Boston: Henry A. Young & Co., 1867.
Summary "Ida's New Shoes" by Madeline Leslie is a children's story written in the late 19th century. This book revolves around the character of young Ida Kent, exploring themes of temper, behavior, and the journey towards self-improvement. It is a narrative intended for children, likely aiming to impart moral lessons about controlling one's emotions and nurturing a good character. The story follows Ida, a spirited little girl who frequently struggles with her temper. It begins with her excitement over a new pair of shoes, which leads to a series of events demonstrating her challenges in managing her emotions. Throughout the book, we witness Ida’s encounters with her family, including her mother, Aunt Mary, and her temperamental cousin Joseph. As the plot unfolds, Ida learns valuable lessons about kindness, forgiveness, and the importance of self-control, not only through her own experiences but also by observing others around her, like Joseph, who faces challenges due to his anger. Ultimately, the narrative emphasizes that with effort and support, children can overcome their flaws and grow into better individuals. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
