The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker

Illustrated by Brian Wildsmith
(Oxford University Press)
978-0192721044, RRP £2.95, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "The Rich Man and the Shoemaker" on Amazon

A full-size, good value paperback of an early Wildsmith - the fable by La Fontaine in which a shoe-maker concludes that gold is more trouble than it's worth. Rich humorous illustrations and good, clear print make this an attractive read alone or read aloud for infants and young juniors.
