Cleverly rhymed children's book

The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition 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. The elf watches the children's behavior and reports it back to Santa each night.
By morning the elf returns to its assigned home and hides in a different location, allowing the children to play a delightful hide-and-seek game.

My kids just received this Thanksgiving day as a gift and I am now ordering them for every child I know. It is such a cute idea. Santa sends the elf to watch the children and then the elf reports to Santa every night and comes back to a different spot in the house. My kids wake up with a running start to see who can find the elf first. The kids must name the elf and they really enjoyed that as well. It is such a nice tradition to help make the Christmas Season even more fun and special. I know it will be with our family for a very long time.

This is a fine book for children. It has everything ... fun, excitement, magic and a big dose of education ... education not crammed down a child's throat, but presented with help from the magical, lovable elves.

Children learn library etiquette from this book ... valuable knowledge when they're first learning to read that will make their library adventures much more enjoyable.
