		Kindergarten-Grade 2-A newly illustrated version of the ever-satisfying tale of a poor shoemaker and his wife who become rich when elves create splendid shoes for them to sell, and who return the favor by making outfits for the elves.
		The elves (a boy and girl rather than two little men) aren't naked but dressed in "raggedy sacks." Still, the main elements of the story are intact, and readers will find plenty to like in LaMarche's interpretation.
		Once upon a time, through sheer bad luck, an honest shoemaker became so poor that he had nothing left in his workshop except enough leather to make a single pair of shoes.
