Review: Overused plot and not very well written
Rating: 2 out of 5

The elf child does something wrong and instead of owning up to it, runs away, and hides in what turns out to be Santa's sack. The elf 'redeems' himself by saving Santa from a snowman with a karate kick to the snow man.  The disobeying and then running away plot is overused in a lot of self-published children's books.  The whole first part of the story about the toys being manufactured factory-style instead of hand-made by elves was dull to my grandkids.  Hard to get  them to make it to the end of the story.  I thought the karate kick to the snow man was ridiculous but it was funny to them and actually the only part of the book they responded to.
