ROCHESTER, Mich. —Kids and families will love reading “The Elf on the Shelf” and enjoy creating a new Christmas family tradition with this fun book available from The Skipping Stone.

“The Elf on the Shelf” is a book written by a mother and daughter team inspired by a family tradition. Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell teamed with illustrator Coë Steinwart to produce a picture book that answers the age-old question of how Santa knows who has been naughty or nice.

The book tells a story of a magical elf that Santa sends to each child's home to watch the children's behavior. Each night the elf flies to the North Pole and reports to Santa who has been naughty or nice that day. Before the children wake up the elf returns to their home, observing from a new post in the house. Each morning the children search the house looking for the elf's new hideout.

“The Elf on the Shelf” book set includes the hardcovered storybook and comes with a stuffed elf so that your children can enjoy being watched by one of Santa's elves.

“This book is sure to become a family holiday favorite,” says Pamela Champagne, president of The Skipping Stone. “The book is cute and well written, and the stuffed elf really makes the book come to life.”
