A fun Christmas book but would have been so much better without the toilet humour。 Tom Fletcher is a great kids author and really doesn't have to rely on this for comedy。I must admit that in all my imaginings of Elfs， I have never imagined them having green faces。 A fun Christmas book but would have been so much better without the toilet humour。 Tom Fletcher is a great kids author and really doesn't have to rely on this for comedy。I must admit that in all my imaginings of Elfs， I have never imagined them having green faces。 。。。more

Grade Level: Pre-K-2 Genre: Fantasy This book is a fun Christmas book to read。 I like how it got kids to recognize their own behavior。 It was a fun and interactive book。 Even though it is a Christmas book， I feel like it could be read at any time for a bedtime story。 The kids enjoyed all of the fun words in it！ I was hearing them all night using the nicknames。 No one wants to be a bad elf or be on the naughty list。 Great book for any age！

An interactive book。 An elf has tests to determine if your child（ren） are naughty or nice。 Recommended only if your kids are old enough to understand when a book is trying to trick them。 Mine aren't there yet。 An interactive book。 An elf has tests to determine if your child（ren） are naughty or nice。 Recommended only if your kids are old enough to understand when a book is trying to trick them。 Mine aren't there yet。 。。。more

If you want to do a new version of “Press Here” but make it feel fresh， this is the way to do it。 The Elf in the book is going to give it’s readers a “Nice test” to make sure they get a visit from santa。 This was a really fun book and would be a blast at story time。

A nice Christmas Children's book。 Look forward to reading it to my class next Christmas as it is would benefit from children response throughout。 A nice Christmas Children's book。 Look forward to reading it to my class next Christmas as it is would benefit from children response throughout。 。。。more

A cute book with an elf testing you to see if you make it to the nice list。 A fun way of looking at elves and their sense of fun。

Merry Christmas and oh look！ There is an elf in your book！ What is it doing there？After finishing another of the There’s a/an insert critter in your book， I decided to see what else was left。 And I found out there was one about an elf！ Since it is almost Christmas I thought it would be perfect to read around that time。 And here I am on 14 December， 11 days to go before Christmas， reading this book！ Yes， by the time you are reading this it is second Christmasday in my country， but I am reading th Merry Christmas and oh look！ There is an elf in your book！ What is it doing there？After finishing another of the There’s a/an insert critter in your book， I decided to see what else was left。 And I found out there was one about an elf！ Since it is almost Christmas I thought it would be perfect to read around that time。 And here I am on 14 December， 11 days to go before Christmas， reading this book！ Yes， by the time you are reading this it is second Christmasday in my country， but I am reading this to get even more in the mood for Christmas。The Elf is here to see if you are nice or naughty！ He has a list and he wants you to do all sorts of nice things！ But， as the narrator also warns us， elves can be a bit mischievous and so be sure to not get tricked！ Oh my！ I was definitely curious what would be on the next page and I flipped to it eager to find out if I would be tricked or if I would do all the nice things！ The tests are all very delightful and adorable and I loved doing the things the elf asked… well except from a few things because there are a few tricks and I knew right away NOT to do that。 But I wonder how many kids would fall for those naughty tricks。 😛 I was doing well and looked forward to be on the nice list！I loved the last test and how that ended！ Hahah， that was fantastically done。 And that ending was just the sweetest and shiniest！ That is such a fun things for kids！So I loved the story， but I can also tell you that the art was just as much fun！ It really gave me Christmas vibes。All in all， this is a perfect book to read for this hohoholiday！ I would recommend it to all！Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess。com/ 。。。more

Pretty cute， but the humor's pretty juvenile， so probably just for younger kids。 Adorable illustrations though and a little holiday test your kids can take， so a good interactive read。 Pretty cute， but the humor's pretty juvenile， so probably just for younger kids。 Adorable illustrations though and a little holiday test your kids can take， so a good interactive read。 。。。more

A fun story for younger readers， although lacking in flow and feeling disjointed。 My class found it entertaining though， as did my little boy， hut I don't think it's one they'll read over and over。 A fun story for younger readers， although lacking in flow and feeling disjointed。 My class found it entertaining though， as did my little boy， hut I don't think it's one they'll read over and over。 。。。more

This is the third creature Tom Fletcher has built a book around。 I love books that invite the reader to act on the book as they read。 The previous efforts （Monster and Dragon） were great examples and they became my favorite gifts to give to families with new babies。 Elf is similar but mainly focuses on getting the reader to say things as they try to pass the tests and stay nice （not naughty） for the impending holiday。 It is a little like The Book with No Pictures in trying to trick the reader to This is the third creature Tom Fletcher has built a book around。 I love books that invite the reader to act on the book as they read。 The previous efforts （Monster and Dragon） were great examples and they became my favorite gifts to give to families with new babies。 Elf is similar but mainly focuses on getting the reader to say things as they try to pass the tests and stay nice （not naughty） for the impending holiday。 It is a little like The Book with No Pictures in trying to trick the reader to say naughty things。 A fun book especially to bring out during the holidays。 。。。more

In this interactive book， an elf tests the reader's ability to follow directions and earn a place on Santa's nice list。 It is fun and funny at a certain preschool level， if one is into the whole 'Santa judges a person' narrative。 I did not appreciate the potty joke， although I'm sure a certain segment of young readers would find it hilarious。 This is not the emphasis I want in our school library for the season that celebrates the holy mystery of the Incarnation。 In this interactive book， an elf tests the reader's ability to follow directions and earn a place on Santa's nice list。 It is fun and funny at a certain preschool level， if one is into the whole 'Santa judges a person' narrative。 I did not appreciate the potty joke， although I'm sure a certain segment of young readers would find it hilarious。 This is not the emphasis I want in our school library for the season that celebrates the holy mystery of the Incarnation。 。。。more

While somewhat interactive， this came across to me as clunky while reading it to my 5 1/2 year old granddaughter。 It was the what do elves do in the toilet part that turned me off。 Children today are exposed to far more potty talk and language than is necessary and， as we're trying to discourage such talk by our granddaughter， this wasn't what I wanted to read to her。 While somewhat interactive， this came across to me as clunky while reading it to my 5 1/2 year old granddaughter。 It was the what do elves do in the toilet part that turned me off。 Children today are exposed to far more potty talk and language than is necessary and， as we're trying to discourage such talk by our granddaughter， this wasn't what I wanted to read to her。 。。。more

This interactive picture book features a test to determine whether its reader can pass the Nice List test and land on Santa's list for presents。 As an elf provides prompts and suggestions， readers are warned to be mindful of possible trickery since elves have a mischievous side。 All goes well for readers， who can even turn the page to find out if they passed that part of the test， until the elf has one more trick up his sleeve。 Still， even when someone does something naughty， maybe they can stil This interactive picture book features a test to determine whether its reader can pass the Nice List test and land on Santa's list for presents。 As an elf provides prompts and suggestions， readers are warned to be mindful of possible trickery since elves have a mischievous side。 All goes well for readers， who can even turn the page to find out if they passed that part of the test， until the elf has one more trick up his sleeve。 Still， even when someone does something naughty， maybe they can still pass the test。 Youngsters will want a copy of the Nice List Certificate found at the back of the book so be ready to print some out。 This isn't my cup of tea for reading， but the intended audience will enjoy the text and the holiday-themed illustrations with that elf who is all bedecked in red。 Reading the book will keep youngsters entertained and out of mischief， perhaps resulting in no more naughty behavior。 Well， we can always hope， right？ 。。。more

This is a good， funny read aloud in the same way that The Book with No Pictures is a good， funny read aloud。 I like books that make you say funny things but that is also cute and good natured in the end。

My favourite thing about There's an Elf in Your Book is definitely the cameo from the Monster from one of Tom Fletcher's other picture books！ Our little girl is FAR too young for this story， but my partner and I had an absolute blast reading this to her， and she had a lot of fun turning the pages over for us to see what she could make her parents do next。 My favourite thing about There's an Elf in Your Book is definitely the cameo from the Monster from one of Tom Fletcher's other picture books！ Our little girl is FAR too young for this story， but my partner and I had an absolute blast reading this to her， and she had a lot of fun turning the pages over for us to see what she could make her parents do next。 。。。more
