Product Description

How does Santa really know who is naughty or nice? The answer is finally revealed in?The Elf on the Shelf A Christmas Tradition.TM The Elf on the Shelf A Christmas TraditionTM is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game. In addition, each shipment is marked for special delivery from Santas workshop. ALL PRODUCTS ARE BRAND NEW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible and creative, December 17, 2007
This review is from: Elf on the Shelf (Hardcover)
This book is so creative for children. I have 3 children ages 5 and under. They love this book. My 5 year old was actually questioning Santa's existence until she woke up and found the elf in a different spot each morning and now she's believing 100%! They get to name their elf and that adds an extra element that they can own! Very creative and just a cute story for the everyday household of children. Even the older ones would enjoy making this story real to younger siblings! A must have a Christmas time!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have!, December 26, 2007
This review is from: Elf on the Shelf (Hardcover)
My mom gave this book to our family for our first Christmas with our son....I am a huge fan of the holidays and this book captured all of the excitement and imagination that makes Christmas so much fun. Although my 9 month old doesn't appreciate the book yet, my nieces and nephews (ages 5-12) loved it. This book is great for kids of all ages, my husband and myself included! We have named our elf and can't wait until next Christmas when he will magically appear and report in to Santa!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a joyful gift, July 9, 2008
This review is from: Elf on the Shelf (Hardcover)
My grandchildren LOVED this concept. Even the "suspicious" about Santa 8 year old enjoyed the hiding and the reading! Great gift from Grandmas!
