About the Book and Author
A hide and seek festive picture book complete with shiny cover is the perfect bedtime story for the run-up to Christmas.
When a little boy is told there’s no such thing as elves, he doesn’t believe it for a second. Surely elves exist? After all, they’re always in Christmas books and films!
But if he has any chance of proving that elves are real, the little boy needs proof! And so starts a wonderful journey. So, do elves exist? You’ll have to read it to find out…

Book Review
It's a really nice story and lovely illustrated book with lots going on on each page for us to talk about
Edith really enjoyed this book and it really got her into the Xmas spirit ready for her elf arriving and doing lots of cheeky things. She couldn’t believe that children didn’t believe in elves and she was really excited to read this book and to find the elves hiding on each page. At the end she said ‘ I knew they were real Mummy’.
I really enjoyed reading this with Edith as it’s a really nice story and lovely illustrated book with lots going on on each page for us to talk about and finding the elf even challenged me on some pages.
A lovely Christmas book with a nice story and looks of lovely pictures and talking points. Ideal for a pre Christmas book or gift.
