A struggling shoemaker wakes to find his work finished overnight, and the Grimm tale that follows gets a pop-up treatment in this edition.
Wonder House Books condenses the story into short spreads, each one carrying a paper-engineered scene that rises when the page turns. The retelling keeps the quiet lesson about generosity repaid, and the construction gives young children something to look at and handle rather than only listen to. Thick pages stand up to the repeated openings that a favourite story invites.
What this edition offers:
• A shortened Grimm fairy tale told across illustrated spreads
• Three-dimensional scenes that lift as each page opens
• Colour artwork sized for shared reading on a lap
• Board-weight pages that tolerate small, eager hands
Suited to preschoolers and the adults reading with them, from Wonder House Books, part of the children's range at Boipoka.
