Many, many years ago, Santa was building his winter wonderland. He knew he needed help to make Christmas special for every child in the world, but he didn't know where to get it. Santa talked to his animal friends because they traveled far and wide and would be familiar with the creatures living near the North Pole. He asked the walruses, the birds, and the bears, and they knew of some wee people (elves), who loved to sing, play, and make things. Santa traveled past Aurora Falls, over Tinsel Glacier, and to the Moose Tree Forest to find the elves. He asked them if they would like to help, and they jumped for joy to be part of Santa's toy-making dream. The elves discovered the wonder of Santa's toy land, how the reindeer gained flight, and how Santa fit all those packages into one bag. This picture book for children, by author R.J. Hastings, shares the stories of Santa and how his elves became a special part of his family.

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. 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.
