Had I translated the title of this book before I reviewed it, it would have been much easier to figure out what was going on. However, it was worth it to not know in advance because the sudden realization when I figured it out was priceless!
Playful, colorful pictures show a little girl who is dropped off for school. Her teacher reads the class a story that has an elf character in it, and when the children go outside for an energetic recess, the girl finds the elf in a puddle near a tree. A series of events follows, in alternating scenes where children can see the elf, but when adults approach, he hides. Young children will delight in finding the elf on each page, and older ones will enjoy the idea that only children can see the elf, not adults.
