Today we read Puss & Boots to the mini-monsters, inspired by the fairy tale Puss in Boots. The old story is told in a new, hip book by Japanese author / illustrator Ayano Imai. Fairy tales have been read to young children for many years, but usually they are not for the faint-hearted, neither is this story ;))
When a poor cobbler has no more customers, his pet (The Clever Puss) wants to help him, so he sets out to find new customers for the cobbler. The smart cat must come up with a clever trick but then everything will turn out fine!
The pictures have a modern, clean look. By using pastel colours the pencil and watercolor drawings have a soft and recognizable look. All over the world Ayano Imani's books are available and very popular, she presents her new books regularly at the Bologna Book Fair.
Puss and Boots is rewarded with 3 well deserved, soft shining stars by our young snazzie readers, but not unanimous! ;))
