PreS-K—It's four days before Christmas, and 10 of Santa's elves have gone missing, causing chaos in the workshop. Santa sets off to find them. Readers are encouraged to find the elves (and Santa) in exotic locales around the world, from a safari scene and a fiesta in Brazil to a ski slope in the Alps and Rockefeller Center. Illustrated in the same highly detailed, chaotic vein as Where's Waldo??, 10 festive, colorful, and downright silly spreads will amuse and delight search-and-find enthusiasts for hours.
VERDICT Best given as a gift book as there is a checklist of answers in the back.

Ten elves are AWOL, so Santa searches the world for them. Eleven jam-packed cartoony scenes offer readers a chance to find the elves and Santa in a snow-covered English village, Bondi Beach in Australia, a Santa convention (location unknown), a festival in São Paulo, and more. Answers are appended, as are "Spotter's Checklists" with more things for picture-puzzle gluttons to find.
