LITTLE ELLIOT was not excited about Christmas. All he wanted was to be in the Christmas spirit, and that's not even something Santa was able to give him. Elliot and his trusted friend Mouse set out on a quest to find the Christmas spirit. Together, they might just find it, but not where they were expecting. 

Also available as a board book!
