Entertaining For All Ages

This book was absolutely wonderful. The story is adorable, and the illustrations were splendid. Traveling through the holidays was great fun. I highly recommend this unique book!

Elton the Elf

Elton the Elf is a wonderful book for young children. I teach at a preschool and this book tells about an elf who goes through the whole year trying to find his holiday. The story beautifully explains what happens to the elf as he travels through the year until he finds his home. The book illustrations along with the story shows the children what happens at each month from January to December. The young children love hearing about the elf (...).

Wonderful storyline

Elton the Elf is a wonderful storyline about a little elf who finds his way home after traveling through various holidays. The unusual idea of traveling through holidays is a unique one. Both the author and illustrator, who has bright and colorful illustrations, mesh their talents together creating a children's book that will bring a smile to both adults and children's faces.

Good For Teaching Holidays

This is a fantastic title that is good for reading aloud. Each page is a new holiday and it invites the children to guess by looking at the pictures. I also loved this book because it was Candadian. It features Canada Day, not the Forth of July. All the other holidays are neutral.

Outstanding

I believe Elton the Elf is a charming story that takes the reader and listener through various holidays and seasons of the year. Elton is an endearing little fellow. It is a book that can be read at any time of the year, not just during one holiday. Roge's illustrations are bright with lots of color and very cleverly done.
