From Organization / 国外机构评价:
Kindergarten-Grade 4-Colin is a much beloved and somewhat magical cobbler whose expertly crafted shoes enhance the lives of all who wear them, even Death. While this is not Ingmar Bergman's Grim Reaper, the specter is shrouded in black and arrives to tell the shoemaker that it is his time. The quick-thinking man, noting that his visitor is barefoot, instantly creates a pattern for coffin-shaped sandals-to be ready in one month. Boots follow, then sportier walking shoes, slippers, and fancy court shoes, until, finally, Death allows no more distractions. When he reminds the artist that he has come for his soul, Colin retorts: And what do you think I've been giving you all these many years-¦I've given you sole after sole. Death laughs, permitting a further extension. Bateman pairs the cadences of a traditional folktale with contemporary humor. The scenes are imbued with suspense without being macabre. Yayo's full-bleed acrylics provide large expanses of rich, layered colors as foils for the smaller, whimsical details: a floor filled with cleverly designed shoes; the plummeting thermometer nose on white-faced Death; a scarlet, clog-shaped bed. Dramatic changes to the horizon line add interest and momentum. Witty and urbane, yet full of child appeal, this tale would make an interesting follow-up to favorites in the established cobbler canon.-Wendy Lukehart, Washington DC Public Library

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价:
While Keeper of Soles is suggested for 6 - 10 year olds, I'd say it has to be a pretty mature 6-year-old to find. the whimsy and clever punning in this book about death. Bateman portrays the Grim Reaper as a fellow cloaked in black who comes knocking on your door. In this case, he approaches a clever shoemaker who manages to outsmart Death by making shoes for him, first sandals, then boots, walking, shoes, and soft slippers. Finally, when persistent Death returns saying he has come for the cobbler's soul, the wily shoemaker replies, "And what do you think I've been giving you all these many years? I've given you sole after sole." We'll leave it to readers to discover how Death responds to that. Colombian born artist Yayo paints brightly in acrylic and finds humor in this story by portraying Death as being so happy with his new shoes that he joyfully leaps over gravestones and the cobbler as making a pattern for sandals in the shape of coffins. Somewhat offbeat for a children's book, so know your youngster well. - Gail Cooke

本书的单词较多,有些生僻词,内容非常有创意。本书讲述了一个鞋匠手艺高超,当死神前来索命时,他机智地想出要给死神做鞋子,在此之后他不断给死神做新鞋,他们还成了好朋友。最后死神答应等他脚上的鞋子都穿坏了再来取鞋匠的性命。
