The elves make the shoes. They have tiny stitches.

Lovely short and sweet story which is full of kindness! How a shoemaker and his wife start of as a very poor family but the benevolent pair of elves help earn them more money by making shoes to sell. I really liked the elves as the are so thoughtful. They care for others and likes to use their talents to make wonderful creations! Any body who likes mini fairytale-like stories should read this. 10/10!

It was brilliant. I liked the elves best. My copy had flaps which were fun to open. I would recommend it. My version was by Alison Edgson.

Humairah liked the part were the elves helped the shoemaker get rich again rather than getting poor and she also liked when the elves where beautiful clothes rather than ripped and old clothes.

I like the part when the Shoemaker was shocked to see such beautiful shoes on the table and I also liked this book because it had a happy happy ending.

It was very funny and the Shoemaker was very poor.
