It's a shame I didn't care for this story. I thought that it had a lot of potential, but it felt like it was hastily put together and the story was rushed through. I thought the Eileen Telford's Elmer, the Christmas Elf could become a Christmas classic for children, but it has a ways to go to meet that standard.
Elmer tries to be a good elf, but finds that he is better at getting in the way than he is at being helpful. The Master Elf lends Elmer a hand and teaches him to carve wood. The ending became kind of obvious to me as I was reading but I liked where the story ended up. I hope that the author sticks with the story and works to improve it. I want to recommend it and I think with some edits I could.
Happy Reading!

I am a reader, I feel like I always have been. I am constantly surrounded by books in both my personal and professional worlds. I have read excessively since the second grade. I have attempted, again and again, to keep a list of the books I've read and how I felt about them but so far have been unsuccessful. This is an attempt to keep track of the books I'm reading, and my thoughts about them. My goal is to publish at least one review a week (no promises though). Wish me luck!
