Cute story。 I love that it rhymes。 Quick and a little silly。

Does Elf on the Shelf slightly creep anyone else out？

I loved the illustrations in this book。 A great holiday read， a cute story about Santa and his elf trying to make deliveries。You could tie this into multiple activities in the classroom。 Students could create their own "how to catch" book。 They could write and continue the elf's adventures。 I loved the illustrations in this book。 A great holiday read， a cute story about Santa and his elf trying to make deliveries。You could tie this into multiple activities in the classroom。 Students could create their own "how to catch" book。 They could write and continue the elf's adventures。 。。。more

This book was such a cute children's book！ It was about Santa delivering toys to all the boys and girls and in this one store， they try to catch him and his elves。 Santa runs into many traps all the time but this one was made out of food！ The illustrations in this book were very clear and detailed。 I enjoyed reading this book as it brought back so many memories！ This book was such a cute children's book！ It was about Santa delivering toys to all the boys and girls and in this one store， they try to catch him and his elves。 Santa runs into many traps all the time but this one was made out of food！ The illustrations in this book were very clear and detailed。 I enjoyed reading this book as it brought back so many memories！ 。。。more

So， people actually set traps for Santa each year？ This is a new one for me。 I know that some children try to spy on him but to trap him， wow！ Well， since they haven't been able to trap Santa， they're going after an elf and he's quick， smart and he hasn't been caught yet。 I said YET。I think this book was rather mean as Santa and the elf go house-to-house delivering presents and the Elf dodges， or tries to dodge the traps that were set for their arrival。 Each house has a different trap ranging fr So， people actually set traps for Santa each year？ This is a new one for me。 I know that some children try to spy on him but to trap him， wow！ Well， since they haven't been able to trap Santa， they're going after an elf and he's quick， smart and he hasn't been caught yet。 I said YET。I think this book was rather mean as Santa and the elf go house-to-house delivering presents and the Elf dodges， or tries to dodge the traps that were set for their arrival。 Each house has a different trap ranging from a mean cat， to some dynamite， to a being bombarded with food。 This sounds like more work than it should be to deliver free toys to the children。 I liked how the text rhymed but I had to watch my pace as I read the words or it just didn't work out the way it was supposed to。 I enjoyed the illustrations （they were the best part of the book for me） and I liked that they were printed on glossy paper。 The illustrations were bright， colorful and I could feel the energy of the actions taking place。 。。。more

Great book for a 4 year old。 My Granddaughter loved this book & the series。 Her favorite book is the Mermaid book & the Unicorn book。 We will definitely buy more of these books。

Mama made me an advent calendar of books， so I unwrapped a new book every night and we read it together。 This was one of them。

This is sort of cute 。。。 I've read， and thoroughly enjoyed， some of the "How to catch a 。。。" books， but this one sort of fell flat for me。 Still， an enjoyable little read for young readers。 This is sort of cute 。。。 I've read， and thoroughly enjoyed， some of the "How to catch a 。。。" books， but this one sort of fell flat for me。 Still， an enjoyable little read for young readers。 。。。more

Boring and confusing

Adorable！ I loved the spin on the classic Christmas mischief of setting a trap to try to catch Santa in the act of leaving gifts。 Instead of setting their sights on Santa， this year， the kids have elected to try to snatch the Elf！ I loved the rhyming verses， and the illustrations were beautiful。 Definitely a story I would read again - I must find a copy of this somewhere。

Why are people trying to catch elves？ Seems naughty。 Disappointing。

Super cute！ My 4 year old really enjoyed this one！ There’s plenty of rhyming and it’s funny！ Definitely recommend this book。 Five stars。

An elf retells a Christmas Eve night where children in different homes are trying to catch him while he's helping Santa。 The longest part is what they find when they visit a family grocery store。A cute holiday read that would spark great conversation about how readers would catch an elf。 My only gripe would be that I wish they would have gone to more houses instead of so much time at the grocery store。 An elf retells a Christmas Eve night where children in different homes are trying to catch him while he's helping Santa。 The longest part is what they find when they visit a family grocery store。A cute holiday read that would spark great conversation about how readers would catch an elf。 My only gripe would be that I wish they would have gone to more houses instead of so much time at the grocery store。 。。。more

I have not read a single book in this series。 I can not see why they are so popular。 The cadence is spot on， the rhymes steady， the illustrations cheerful and eye catching。 In this story it’s up to the elf not to get caught and spring any traps set for santa。 It's a super fun and super quick story。#WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer +16 I have not read a single book in this series。 I can not see why they are so popular。 The cadence is spot on， the rhymes steady， the illustrations cheerful and eye catching。 In this story it’s up to the elf not to get caught and spring any traps set for santa。 It's a super fun and super quick story。#WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer +16 。。。more

Okay， it only took me a minute to read it。 It falls flat for a kids' book。 Not that great。 Okay， it only took me a minute to read it。 It falls flat for a kids' book。 Not that great。 。。。more

Not nearly as good as How to Catch Santa。 I was disappointed。

Instead of trying to catch Santa on Christmas Eve， kids are now after the elf accompanying him。 Can they do it？ They set up elaborate traps， but the clever Elf may be too clever for them。 There's a subtle 'Elf on the Shelf' reference I found funny。 This wasn't one of my personal favorites for some reason， but it may be enjoyed by many others。 Still a fun read aloud。 Instead of trying to catch Santa on Christmas Eve， kids are now after the elf accompanying him。 Can they do it？ They set up elaborate traps， but the clever Elf may be too clever for them。 There's a subtle 'Elf on the Shelf' reference I found funny。 This wasn't one of my personal favorites for some reason， but it may be enjoyed by many others。 Still a fun read aloud。 。。。more
