BR 1-06: The old woman who lives in a shoe (Russell Punter, 2008)

"There was an old woman who lived in the shoe."

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had a lot of children, but she didn't know what to do. In the house, there were various children. For example, greedy kids, naughty kids, or small kids, and tall kids. There were boys and girls all over the place. They squeezed in together, with no room to grow.

One day, "This shoe is too full.", she said. So, she looked right away. She went to all shoe stores, but there were nothing. The boots were too tiny, and the shoes were too small...She felt resigned. She was on her way home by the side of a liver. Then, she met a huge giant. He gave a sad shiver. The old woman helped him. In reward for her, the giant gave his big shoes. 

Now all the children have space to have fun. Also, the old woman can knit in the sun. They can be happy!

This is so interesting story for me. I want to live in this shoe!
