I am a teacher, and I bought this for my students and I to enjoy during the holiday season. I've found that the little elf isn't made well enough to withstand 40 little hands trying to see it. The head is heavy and the rest of the body is lanky, which I understand the point of but it's still difficult. I didn't find the book to be cute as much as creepy. It was a fun tradition for the kids, but for this adult, it was hard to remember to change it every day, lol. I think it should come with a list of fun places for the elf to go.
