The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition™ is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.
Each Tradition-in-a-Box™ comes with its very own scout elf, a hardbound children's book and a keepsake box for easy storage. In addition, each shipment is marked for "Special Delivery" from Santa's workshop.

November 30, 2009: My mother bought this for her grandchildren - ages 3,5, and 8. To say they loved it is an understatement. Every morning they race out of bed to find their elf "Mee Bop Tanker" (clearly, each child chose a name for our elf and we combined it into one). This is a delightful story about how Santa finds out if you have been good or bad and my kids have never been so good. I wish "MBT" could be with us all year. I highly recommend this precious book and magical elf. It makes you believe again!

November 28, 2009: I bought this for my family after my son was told about him from a friend. Even my 17 year daughter has joined in on the fun and wants to know how he moves around.
