This can be a splendid book to read to your little ones when it's time for bed and can get everybody into a Christmas mood. The concept behind the story is the fact that Santa must know whether a child has been good or not before he delivers the gifts on Christmas Eve. So Santa sends his Elf to go and watch over the kids in each home. The Elf sits on the shelf (or mantlepiece or dining room table) and after watching over the young children each day, comes back to Santa every evening to report back. It's essential to be sure you shift the Elf around because he will lose his power if the young children see him in the same spot each morning. He is supposed to have been to the North Pole and back after all. The kids can register the Elf on the web and will need to provide him with his own name.

The Elf is included with the hardback book and a keepsake box for your little ones to store any Christmas drawings and decorations in. There's also an action guide as part of the collection and a few additional dolls for example a Female and Male Elf which you can get in case your children truly get into the story.

Christmas is a time for magic and is particularly great to see children fall utterly under the spell of Santa Claus and his awesome Elves especially when the existing economic situation can mean that many families were under pressure just lately.
