Cute holiday book about five elves at the North Pole as they get ready for Santa to deliver presents.

I love that Scholastic gives the kids a free book each month. It’s only a few pages but they’re cute stories and a good way to keep kids reading.

Maxwell: 5 stars: it was really cute when the elves were making a mess trying to help Mrs. Claus make a batch of cookies.

Leila: 5 stars: that they were making the Christmas tree and that they put the lights on the tree.

Cute little book that illustrates what activities they elves go through counting up to Christmas. Perfect for toddlers, littles, and read aloud groups. Lots of fun rhyming and rhythm. Highly recommend for all ages. Serious contender for our Santa Story time this year!

[Carolyn Mayo]

This is an adorable book filled with Christmas cheer! The illustrations use lots of bright Christmas colors and bring to life what life at the North Pole is like. It is wonderful for any child who wants to know what it is like to be Santa's elf!

All of these Scholastic Book Order Christmas books are starting to run together and sound the same...

Day 19 (#2 book for the day because the Kindle book we were supposed to read wouldn't download, so we read two holiday books already on our shelves)

I thought that this was a cute enough book. The elves are trying to help Santa. My 3 kids enjoyed reading this book.
