What is 20 Elves at Bedtime about?

Santa cannot sleep on the night before Christmas Eve, so his reindeer friends suggest counting sheep. But when Santa spots some busy elves nearby, he decides to count them instead. From one cheerful elf to twenty hardworking helpers, the North Pole comes alive with festive activity. Told in lively rhyming text, this cosy bedtime story invites children to count along while discovering the playful world of Santa’s elves.
