The Elf off the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition Gone Bad

About this book

I honestly did believe this shelf gig was going to be great. Get out and see the world they said. Experience the joy of wide-eyed kids holiday cheer and the Christmas spirit they promised. Finally leave your parents basement for once in two hundred and sixty-seven years they told me. I was sold. And off I went. As a member of Santas spy squad I headed down south for the holidays to help the big guy decide whos naughty and whos nice. It was going to be a wonderful change of pace from the screwing hammering sanding painting and wrapping happening in Ol St. Nicks workshop. Or so I thought . . . Horace the Elf In this for-parents-eyes-only parody of the popular holiday title The Elf on the Shelf readers laugh along with Horace as he goes AWOL from his Christmas duties. This photo-story set to verse is the unauthorized (and hilarious) tale of one disgruntled little helper with a gift for making mischief.
