Description

Gilbert the Goblin infiltrates Santas workshop to prove that goblins are better workers than elves in the side-splitting latest installment in The Worst! picture book series, where even the strangest of creatures can become the best of friends.

Everyone knows that elves have a reputation of being the hardest workers aroundespecially when it comes to the holiday seasonbut as far as Gilbert the Goblin is concerned thats nothing but ho-ho-hogwash. A goblins to-do list is just as long as any elfs; they just dont feel the need to sing songs about it.

To prove he can outperform any reindeer-watching, wrapper-paper-wielding, toy-tinkering elf, Gilbert puts on his merriest disguise to infiltrate Santas workshop. But can one lone goblin do the work of a whole team of elves
