Welcome
She wants to knock the jingle out of Christmas
Remember that favorite toy you lost as a kid?
What if you really didn't lose it?
The slickest elf you've never heard of, knows more about your toys than you ever will... because she made them.
And now... she wants them back.
Yes, this is a Christmas book, but parents, don't you think the lesson of cleaning up toys lasts year round?
AFTER READING THIS STORY, KIDS MIGHT ACTUALLY WANT TO CLEAN UP THEIR ROOMS!

Here's the "Deal":
When a jealous elf, who reluctantly makes toys for others, sees exactly how kids neglect and lose her prized creations ... she vows to knock the jingle out of Christmas. But here’s the REALLY bad news: This elf is Santa's hand-picked successor, and his very own ... kid sister.
It's a rhyming romp from the North Pole to every home in the world. No toy is safe when "AnTas" ( Anastasia TasMerelda Claus) is at the helm of Santa's sleigh. Yet it's not just toys.
