It's Christmas Eve, and this year is going to be the year you're FINALLY going to catch an elf! This hilarious holiday read will become a treasured tradition in your house!

Do you remember the wonder that you experienced as a child waking up to find that the world was blanketed in the first snowfall of winter? Or the feeling of standing in a snow-globe flurry of snow, delicate, lacy flakes tickling your face? Or the awesome sensation of stepping out into an unspoiled blanket of snow? That's what this book is all about. The beautifully written story and the lovely illustrations combine to celebrate all that is great about snow days.

A follow-up to The Little Book of Saints and The Little Book of Angels, this festive offering explores the history of Christmas, from that first fateful night when the Three Wise Men followed that star to why we celebrate certain traditions today, such as why Santa comes down the chimney and other traditions from around the world. This beautifully illustrated book comes beautifully presented for gift-giving, with a padded case, a ribbon book marker, and gilded edges. It would make a great teacher gift, a hostess gift, or a special book to incorporate into your own holiday traditions.
