The Littlest Christmas Elf (Little Golden Book)

By all means, buy this book for a younger sibling who thinks he/she is too small to do anything. The story is about the littlest elf in a town who is selected to be sent to Santa's workshop since he was so talented. However, when little Allistar arrives, all the other elves laugh at him when he finds that he is too small to do even the smallest chores like sweeping the floor. Then, Allistar runs out of the workshop crying and guess who finds him? Nicholas, the big elf who befriends little Allistar. He then goes with Nicholas to feed and take care of the reindeer. The little elf is so afraid that Santa will send him home that he fears to go to Santa's house to see his friend Nicholas when he learns that he wsa taken there. It is then that he learns that Nicholas is Santa and the little guy even gets to go help deliver presents on Christmas Eve. What a great story for a little one who is always feeling left out. Little guys can do big things too and that's the moral of this story. Great story, well loved in our house. Highly recommend!

In this little story an elf named Allistar gets to travel to the North Pole. He is so excited as he arrives, but soon finds he is too little to do any of the jobs that are assigned to him. Saddened, he is befriended by Nicholas, who doesn't mind that he is little and likes the way he does the jobs he gives him. To the delight of Allistar, he finds out his new friend is non other than Santa himself. A really sweet tale to share at the Christmas season, showing little ones how important they are.
