Le Chat botté
Puss in Boots
A poor miller's son inherits nothing but a cat — and the cat asks for a pair of boots. Perrault's cheekiest fairy tale, retold in sixteen short chapters of beginner French that grow with the cat's outrageous plan, from a rabbit in a sack to an ogre's castle and a princess.
