Why read it?

1 author picked The Elves And The Shoemaker as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Christmas is a wonderful time for magical tales that children love. In this one, a poor but good-hearted cobbler is rewarded for his honesty during the night, when clever elves sneak into his shop and make shoes for him to sell. It gives children the chance to imagine invisible helpers, and also the thrill of doing good deeds in secret.

From Joni's list on classic Christmas books.
