The Elves’ Revolution

Christmas

Humorous

All Christmas toys are made by the elves. Yet all the children’s thank-yous go to Santa!
Does that seem fair to you?

Lately, a certain discontent has been spreading through the Elf Tower: the elves work hard all year long to build the best toys around, and then, on Christmas Day, an old man in red shows up, simply delivers those toys to the children, and takes all the credit. The elves have had enough—so they start a revolt!

A hilarious read for anyone who loves Christmas humor.
A picture book that includes a festive seek-and-find game, wrapped in a dust jacket that turns into a Christmas poster!
