  1. The character in this book is just magical and one of the best picture books i have ever read.The end of the story is tragic but i like it that way.

    We think that the main point of the story was that you should never give up and work hard for what you want.

  4. If I found the shoe I'd give it to the factory owner and see if he recongised it.

    I think it would have been better if Schumann hadn't died because he could have kept making shoes untill he died naturally.

    I think the centipede was a bit rude asking for all the shoes at once because it was too hard for for Schumann to make 50 pairs in one order.

    I liked the end because it was a very different ending. Usually in picture books there are happy endings, but in this one Schumann dies.

    I like the way the book is layed out. At the end it keeps you hanging on there.

    I predict that the guy who found the shoe will become the next shoemaker.

  5. I thought the bird would die at the end from the smoke because everything else was sad. I thought the animals would all get together to stop the factory and take over Schumann's store.

    I thought the bird would go through the smoke and her shoes would fall off into the factory. Then the shoe would damage the machines in the factory and they would close the factory down.

  6. I think in the end of the book, the person who found the shoe really liked it!!! I think the person may start to make shoes.

    I think that the person who found the shoe wanted to make them and that he opened a shop and made shoes.

    I like how the centipede put all the shoes that Schumann made in the tree to respect him.

  10. At least Schumann died doing what he loved. He was tying the bow on his shop when he died.

    I think it was nice of the animals to bury Schumann when he died.

    I think Schumann was nice because he was making shoes for animals as well as humans, especially because the animals may seem strange to him but he still made the shoes.

    I liked the illustrations. They weren't all drawings, there were pictures cut out of magazines as well.

    I found it interesting how Schumann never made the same two pairs of shoes.

    I like the end, it keeps you wanting to know what happens after.

    I like how Schumann thought of the ideas for the shoes personally and he made his own designs. He didn't copy anybody.

    I enjoyed reading the book because the pictures were really interesting and looked quite funny and cute. The plot line was clever because it was very clear and the author style of writing was extremely cool. I also liked how the author decided to make the bird drop its shoe and the boy found it.

  19. I think that the centipede should of got the shoes because she had waited for a long time and she never got them. and she was the only one without shoes!

  22. This is the book I liked most. it is a magical story. The pictures are fantastic. I love the shoes design and the creativity of the shoeman. It is a bit sad because he had to go away from his town and close his shop and also because he died, but at the end there is hope. The young guy who finds the shoe left by the bird thinks that the shoe is so nice that he wants to do the same and I think he opens a new shop to bring back the colors and the originality in the grey city with all same shoes.
