The sight of a little brown mouse wearing green high-tops is reason
alone for buying this book.

Marshall Mouse lives with his parents, Mortimer and Mabel, and uncles
Grant and David in the attic of a laundry room. His favorite thing to do
is peer down into the house to see what he can see. What does he see--a
pair of green high-tops! Even though mice don't wear shoes, Marshall
longs for his own pair of green high-tops- after all, no other mouse
would have shoes like that! Day in and day out, that's all Marshall
thinks about. "If I only had those shoes. They would make me an even
better shortstop and we could win all the games." When Marshall's
birthday rolls around, he's delighted to find the green high-top
sneakers he had wanted for so long. The next morning, Marshall slips on
his new kicks and heads off to play baseball with his friends. Marshall
had always been one of the best players on the team, but instead of
becoming a superstar, the shoes just get in the way and all Marshall
does is fall flat on his face. Marshall had been so sure the shoes would
make him special, but he learns one of the many lessons a mouse needs to
learn: Mice don't wear shoes!

This warm tale brought back memories of getting brand new sneakers for
the school year. There was nothing better than slipping on a glistening
white pair and parading around school in new kicks! It made me feel as
though I could run faster, jump higher, and do anything. The underlying
theme that we don't need shoes or material things to make us special is
a wonderful reminder in a day when we're surrounded by commercials, and
marketing efforts. As Marshall finds out, you must be careful what you
wish for, because it might not be all it's cracked up to be.

Lorena Pugh studied illustration at Pratt Institute in New York and has
won many national awards for her animal paintings. The illustrations by
Pugh are amazing and her attention to detail brings Marshall to life.
The dust billows on the ball field, and the tears that well up in
Marshall's eyes glisten.

Receive many compliments when I wear this top. The color is more of an olive green than the brownish green on picture. Great price and if you are fond of Karen Kane clothing, this top will not disappoint you.

Just perfect.  My Great Grandson thoroughly enjoyed it.  Reminded me of the tops we used to have when we were kids.

I have not read all four volumes, but I want to. I find that this book gives a balance and detail between George Marshall, the man, the duties, the organizer, and periods of history in which he was involved.

The top is like a bucket and goes up pretty high. I actually enjoy high-waisted things but these are just beyond for me. I guess if you have a belly to hide these would be great.

This picture is lime green. Its not muted like it shows in the picture.

Marshall has movable legs.  The ladder raises up and down.  The fire truck can be pushed around, but that is all it does.  My son likes it.

They fit, but they are more green than they appear online.

It is a wonderful story about the Marshall Field era and since I have the non-fiction book about Marshall Fields I enjoyed this book even more. Being a Marshall Field shopper in it's day it lived up to it's Model.

Love this summery blazer but be forewarned - it is nuclear green.  Neon green / construction worker green.  If you don't want to have people say you are blinding them, then this is the blazer for you.  I have a pair of shoes this color so I am fine with it.  It does run small but the fabric is stretchy and the cut makes it work.

My son loves lime green, and he loves Jimi Hendrix, so this was a fantastic find. The shirt has been washed a few times and is of high quality.

Every time Marshall comes out with a new book I am the first to run to the bookstore well in this case Kindle to get one of the first copies. And with 'Triggers' Marshall has come through again. Thank you Marshall Goldsmith for this wonderful work

This item is tall and has plenty of room, so each flower has lots of room to dry.  However, it is a bit top heavy.

I have several of these tops and like them a lot. However, I had ordered this green top in a size that was too large. So I gave it to my daughter in law.  I reordered in an XL in green and it's not a true Christmas green, it is more of a blue green turquoise color.  I kept the top, but wish I could reorder in the green I wanted.

Ok, so I bought this item for about 35 bucks on Amazon! But when it arrived it had a tag from Marshalls on it for $10! I felt taken, but love this item!

I bought one of these at Marshalls and loved it so much I searched the internet so I could buy more.  Amazon sent them super fast.
