I received this as a gift from my first grade teacher, and still make a habit of reading it periodically for nostalgic reasons. I think it is a wonderful book for young children to read!

Nice adaptation of the classic tale. A poor shoemaker is secretly helped by magical elves when he sleeps. They make beautiful shoes that the shoemaker sells for a lot of money.
