I picked this book up, which was laying on my classroom shelf. I would have never guessed by it's cover that it contained such and endearing story. "Read it Yourself" it said in big letters. You can tell this book is old and foreign, by the details and colors used. Even the end pages contained illustrations. The words are simple and not overwhelming. For years I have read many versions of "The Elves and the Shoemaker", but this one was special. The book was thin and about the size and width of an adults hand. The illustrations contained, warm dark colors that are not found nowadays in childrens books, which are usually bright and loud. This added to the coziness of the book. The book is simple enough for a child learning to read. Yet, also surprisingly enjoyable for the adult.

my daughter love this when she received from amazon parcel. She has been reading the series of read it yourself by ladybird. She enjoy the story
