(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bernadette Watts. In this straightforward retelling, the happy shoemaker is paid handsomely by the rich man to stop singing but is made so miserable by his new wealth that his wife encourages him to return the gold. Detailed illustrations rendered in a warm palette and set in a European city are a comfortable fit to this well-worn tale.
