The Little Christmas Elf (Little Golden Book)

As a teacher, I love giving books as gifts. This brought back memories of growing up with Little Golden Books and was chosen for a small child born just before Christmas. It shows how hard work can pay off, even from the littlest souls, and that there is joy in giving. In a way it reminds me of another Christmas legend, where the little boy didn't have anything to offer the Christ child, but his offering was valued as much as any other.

I bought this on my kindle for my three year old daughter. We read this every few nights up until the big Santa visit. My daughter enjoyed it. This book gave me a break from reading the traditional Christmas stories all the time. Cute, encouraging, feel good story for toddlers!

My neice wrote this book. I purchased 10 copies for my friends who had grandchildren. Of course, I kept a copy for myself. What a lovely story. It shows what a child can do it they don't give up. I recommend it to anyone who has children.

You can't go wrong when you purchase a Little Golden Book and this was no exception. The story has a nice xmas theme running through it and is a delight to read. I particularly liked the illustrations inside this little book and you can feel yourself drift into the magic that xmas brings. Very well priced too. Good size to transport around.

Sweet book with a good ending. Well worth buying for a pre-Christmas bedtime story for a 5 year old. I tried to order this for 2014 pre-Christmas but it was sold out, and for a long time afterwards. Finally, I saw it was back in stock over the summer and bought it then.

Very sweet story with lovely illustrations. I enjoyed reading this many times to my preschool age children last year and I'll bring it out again for many Christmases to come. My kids love seeing the baby at the end. Such a beautiful, kind surprise at the end of the story. Very touching.

This is my three-year-old daughter's favorite Christmas book. It's a very sweet story about a little elf whose persistence is rewarded in a wonderful way. It's not overtly religious, but has a lovely message truly in keeping with the season.

All of my girls (aged 6, 3, and 2) just love this story! I was hesitant at first since they can lose interest in many of the Little Golden Books, but that was absolutely not the case with this book. It had a great message about never giving up. LOVE!!
