This book is both cute and a bit crazy, which could be a good combination for children. The nephew gave this 4 stars and then proceeded to come up with ways he might want to catch this elf. I enjoyed him while reading this book I thought was somewhat tedious. He has an excellent laugh that is catching. This is his kind of book and I love to hear him laugh. So while that book does little for me, it tickles my nephew to no end. The next page is Santa doing a Ski jump off a ramp of eggnog. He loved seeing a big cannon shooting hams and things at Santa and the elf, who dive for cover. The line, "Hey, you zapped my tushy!" had him laughing. It's not very Christmasy to me, but it's fun to hear the nephew laugh. All these modern gadgets are employed to catch this sneaky elf, but he has help from his pal, Ol' Saint Nick. I guess it's the Elf on a shelf helper or something. This is about catching an elf that hangs out with Santa. I think these 'How to' books are cute enough. This came in late from the library, so I'm putting this review up after the holiday anyway.
