A bright, illustrated retelling of the classic fairy tale!
Long before appearing as the swashbuckling character in Dreamwork's
Shrek, the dashing Puss in Boots was told as a moral tale throughout
Europe. The cat, given as the only inheritance to a poor miller's son,
promises to bring riches and prosperity to his new master, if he'll only
give him a beautiful pair of boots. With nothing to lose, the young man
complies, and the cat sets off to the palace. Every day, the suave cat
catches a creature and brings it to the king, claiming it a gift from
the Duke of Carabas. The king is very pleased with his new presents. One
day, the cat finds out that the king will be driving by with his
daughter. He persuades his master to remove his clothes and jump in the
river, soon setting into motion the rest of the clever cat's plan for
his master to become wealthy and powerful.
