Elf on the Shelf Book Only
It was a bit surprising for me to see the The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition Book only without the Elf on the Shelf doll and box. In fact, we know the Official Elf on the Shelf doll comes with the book and box, never alone and never in a color other than red!
What is the Elf on the Shelf Book?
The plot of the Elf on the Shelf book describes how Santa’s “scout elves” visit homes and watch over day to day happenings. The red elves leave to visit the North Pole every night and then go back to their assigned home each morning. By hiding in a new spot each morning, the scout elf plays an ongoing game of hide and seek with the family.
In order to get their magic, The Elf on the Shelf explains that scout elves get their magic by being named and being loved by a child. In the back of each book, families have an opportunity to write their elf’s name and the date that they adopted it. Once the elf is named, the scout elf receives its special Christmas magic, which allows it to fly to and from the North Pole.
But careful. Elf’s magic might disappear if the North Pole elf visitor is touched. So only one Elf on the Shelf rule must be followed – do not touch Elf. The story ends on Christmas Day with the Elf on the Shelf leaving to stay with Santa for the rest of the year until the following Christmas season.
