Synopsis

At Christmas time an elf arrived . . . but very soon I knew . . .
one little elf was not enough and so I needed . . . two!

When an elf comes to stay, you're sure to have lots of fun. But wouldn't 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . or even 10 elves be better still? Or would their over-enthusiastic present wrapping and noisy festive tunes create just a bit too much Christmas chaos?! Perhaps just one special elf friend is perfect . . .

From the creators of How Many Dinosaurs is Too Many? and Charlie Chooses - Lou Peacock (A Whale of a Time, Oliver Elephant and The Bear, the Book and the Blanket) and Nicola Slater (The Leaf Thief, the Hello series and the Meekoo series) - comes this rhyming romp that shows that true happiness is often found in what you already have.

Amy

How Many Elves is Too Many? is a lovely Christmas story about a young child who is visited by elves before Christmas. A fun book to help with counting for young children - and great illustrations, too.
