Puss is resourceful and clever as he gracefully tricks a king into giving his daughter's hand to the cat's poor master. Lush illustrations cast this retelling into the forefront of other Puss in Boots versions, as Fred Marcellino employs unique perspective and light to cast a dreamy glow over the classic story.
