A beloved fairy tale reimagined

A poor shoemaker must close his business as there is no work, but his cat is determined to save the shoemaker from his plight. Using a magnificent pair of boots and a sly plan, the trusty cat tempts a monster and tricks the beast into using his own vanity against himself. With the monster defeated, the shoemaker reopens his shop and can once again sell his beautiful shoes to the townspeople. A beautifully distinctive retelling of a classic tale, this children's book features enchanting illustrations from acclaimed artist Ayano Imai.

Reviews for Puss & Boots

Gorgeous art. . . . As in Imai's version of Aesop's Fables , intriguing surreal touches add to the otherworldly tone....The streamlined narrative presentation makes this accessible to younger kids, while the sophistication of the art ensures that older ones will be equally enthralled. -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
