Cute rhyme-y narration, but not exactly my favorite Christmas story. (

This book has been a tradition in our family since 2011. We have an Elf that comes everything holiday season, his name is Mac. My children, even though one is 11 and does not believe, she still enjoys reading the book and sharing in the finding of Mac every morning. My youngest, though, he is another story. He aggravated me till we sat down and read the book. We read it on Thanksgiving night before we go to bed. He loves getting up to find Mac and knows the rules of him. Some people think this is silly and nonsense, but they are only kids once. I agree it is hard to remember to move him or create some type of funny scene for him, but seeing my kids' smiles because of it makes it all worth it! I would love to share this with a class in the classroom library, but air on the side of caution for this could create some tension in the room. Respect comes to my mind when this book is shared. Respect for other's beliefs and traditions. Merry Christmas! (

Book description

Year after year, children and adults alike are baffled by the mystery of how Santa really knows who's been naughty or nice. After much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has allowed his biggest secret to be revealed in The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition. At the start of each Christmas season, the elf appears to serve as Santa's eyes and ears, traveling back to the North Pole each and every night to make a detailed report of the day's activities.
