Love this colorful holiday book that serves well as a bedtime story or read aloud for preschoolers and primary school children. Tap, Tweak, Twinkle and Top Plumperson are elves who work in Santa's workshop. One day they suddenly decide that their work Is not important enough. They set out to find work that is important. The elves try out baking, caroling, delivering mail, wrapping packages and dancing in The Nutcracker, but find themselves unsuccessful and disappointed with themselves. Deciding that they are most happy working in Santa's workshop where they are successful and needed, the four friends discover the real secret is doing something that not only gives us satisfaction but makes others happy as well. Our family keeps Christmas-themed books under the Christmas tree, and reads one each night leading up to Christmas. We try to add a new one each year, and we are so excited to have added this story to our tradition! The elves have so much personality, and the illustrations are decadent, with a beautiful message for everyone to do their personal best, which in turn blesses the world. We loved this story, and can't wait for more from the author/illustrator, Diana Kazlauskas! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
