Description

To find out whether Santa thinks youre naughty or nice, youll need to trick an elf into letting you see the list!

Legend has it that the only way to find out if youre on Santas naughty or nice list is to trick an elf into letting you sneak a peek! But be careful: elves are tricky themselves! To get a look at the list, youll need to be clever in crafting a distracting craft to catch the elfs attention. So, grab some Christmas supplies like ribbons, twinkle lights, bows, and candy canes, and get prepared for your sly holiday visitor!

On the nights leading up to Christmas, one of Santas elves will show up to keep watch on kids and to report on their naughty or nice behavior! However, if youre careful and clever and quick, you can set up a beautiful little sleigh that will distract your elf, and then youll be sure to get a glimpse at Santas list!

Sue Fliesss poetic read-aloud text and Simona Sanfilippos vibrant, whimsical illustrations will provide much fun for young readers eager to trick their own Christmas elf and find which list theyre on! Also included are guides for teachers and parents about how to engage children in building an elf sleigh themselves and how to interest them in the history of the holiday and the many cultures that celebrate Santas tiny helpers.
