The Elf on the Shelf A Christmas Tradition Book Review
The Elf on the Shelf gift set includes a hardbound children's book, a Scout Elf from the North Pole, and a keepsake box for easy storage year after year.
Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition Book is cleverly rhymed children's book that explains how Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice. When Santa sends a scout elf (The Elf on the Shelf) to every home during the holiday season, the elf watches the children by day flies back to the North Pole and reports to Santa each night. Before the children wake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location every day. This fun activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game the entire family will enjoy.
