Synopsis
For those who are creeped out by 'The Elf on the Shelf' finally they have a book just for them. Every holiday season Santa sends elves out from the North Pole To sit and watch and see who's Naughty and who's Nice. They're supposed to stay still, listen, and report back each night, So St. Nick can write up his list based on their advice. Except this year Mum bought a discount elf, Who came in a damaged box and was a little damaged in the head. He hates his job, ignores all the rules, And, instead, gets into all sorts of trouble when everyone's in bed. It doesn't matter if readers love their Elf on the Shelf or think the concept is downright creepy - everyone will enjoy Elf off the Shelf. It's the photo-story set to verse of one disgruntled little helper with a gift for making mischief. Whether he's getting into the eggnog or defacing Christmas cards, his AWOL antics could ruin the holidays for everyone. AUTHOR: Horace the Elf has been a professional elf for more than 300 years. Before being sent out to spy and judge small children, he worked the assembly line in Santa's workshop. SELLING POINTS: * More than 1.5 million elves sit idly on their shelves every holiday season...this Christmas, we get to see what goes on when one elf gets off the shelf * Four colour photos capture Santa's little helper getting into big-time trouble * It may not be creepier, but this yuletide parody is way funnier than the new holiday tradition it's spoofing, Every holiday season Santa sends elves out from the North Pole To sit and watch and see who's Naughty and who's Nice. They're supposed to stay still, listen, and report back each night, So St Nick can write up his list based on their advice. Except this year Mum bought a discount elf, Who came in a damaged box and was a little damaged in the head., "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 Santa's spy squad, I headed down south for the holidays to help the big guy decide who's naughty and who's nice. It was going to be a wonderful change of pace from the screwing, hammering, sanding, painting, and wrapping happening in Ol' St. Nick's workshop. "Or so I thought . . . --Horace the Elf In this for-parent's-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., I honestly did believe this shelf gig was going to be great.

  • Elf Off The Shelf

    It was funny but was more for adults because some of the language used. My son was so excited to have it. We laughed. But it wasn't anything like Elf on the shelf.

    Gave it a low score because when I bought it I thought it was for children. It's ok for adults.
