The Shoemaker Extraordinaire

32 pp. | Abrams | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-4236-4 $$14.95
(4) K-3 A shoemaker comes to town with extraordinary shoes custom-made to make a short man taller, a shy girl more outgoing, a tired man energetic--and a special pair for a giant who wants to eat the shoemaker. This well-shaped trickster tale is illustrated with unfortunately hard-to-read cut-paper collage--look for shoe tread marks on some of the overly busy prints--that brings out the shoemaker's loopiness.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
