If The Shoe Fits...

Imagine yourself as a cobbler (a maker of shoes). Suddenly one day a very ‘stout’ magic fairy godmother shows up at your door exclaiming that she had run out of magic.

Seems she used it all to make a carriage, gown and the necessary objects for a young girl to go to a royal ball to meet the prince.

Unfortunately the fairy godmother ran out of magic before she could make glass slippers.

The cobbler (Murray) makes her a pair of small glass slippers and she goes her way.

Somehow his clerk (who believes she is destined to marry a prince) convinces the cobbler to make her fake (very LARGE) glass slippers she can wear to the ball and substitute her glass slipper for the small slipper so she is chosen to marry the prince.

The cobber is in love with his clerk (Mona) and is devastated when she is chosen by the baffled prince.

Later the fairy godmother returns to the cobbler’s shop and is not happy about his shoe substitution.

The two team up to make things right, which they do. When the truth comes out Mona realizes that her prince was the cobbler all along.

Author Deborah Guarino and illustrator Seth Hippen team up to make a delightful and hilarious tale of a fairy tale gone awry in If The Show Fits..., published by Schiffer Publishing/Kids.

The oversize, hardbound book with dust jacket features awesome illustrations in full-color and hilarious text both of which combine to make a heartfelt moral tale.
