Puss in Boots

Puss in Boots
by Jerry Pinkney

A clever cat outsmarts many to bring riches to his master in this retelling of a classic tale.   When Benjamin inherits a cat from his father, he wonders how he will survive on such as small inheritance.  However, the tricky cat quickly proves his value to Benjamin by bringing him more wealth and prestige than he could ever imagine.

 Jerry Pinkney, who won the 2010 Caldecott for The Lion & The Mouse, has created beautiful illustrations to accompany his retelling of the classic Puss in Boots story.    A great choice for a read aloud!
