A Wish for Elves

(2) K-3 Schlepping gifts, untangling lights, and shoveling snow dampen the main character's Christmas spirit. "Life would be easier if I had elves," he muses, and the next day, Santa's little helpers arrive. Just a few speech bubbles make up the text, while enormously amusing cartoon panel illustrations in crisp Christmas colors show the little buggers making general nuisances of themselves.
