Join the elves as they help Santa get ready for Christmas in this clever, interactive board book with die-cut pages and lift-the-flaps.

It's Christmastime, the busiest time of year for Santa and his elves. His workshop is buzzing with elves completing all kinds of jobs to prepare for the big night. The cheerful elves are making toys, sorting through all of the letters that children around the world have sent to Santa, and taking care of the reindeer. And as the night wears on and they get tired, the elves head off to bed one by one until they're all sound asleep. This engaging Christmas board book features sturdy flaps and a clever transformation with each turn of the page!
Selina Wood has been an editor and writer of children’s books for over 20 years. She has written about everything from pets to time travel. Selina enjoys singing and gardening and works with a friendly green llama on her desk.

From an early age, Gareth Williams has loved to draw, and that passion continues to this day. It's something he still can't believe he gets to do for a living. He's worked on a wide range of projects, including greeting cards, editorial illustration, and children's books. When he's not working, Gareth enjoys soccer, gaming, and movies.
Baby-Toddler–Five elves of various skin tones in brightly colored stocking caps help Santa Claus prepare for Christmas by checking the mail, making toys, feeding the reindeer, cleaning the reindeers’ bells, and wrapping all the presents. One by one, they complete their tasks and, with a lift of a flap and a turn of the page, go to bed: “Good night, sleepy elf!” VERDICT A sweet countdown to the holiday, this could be an additional purchase for large board book collections. --School Library Journal
