Diary of a Christmas Elf: festive magic in the blockbuster hit

Product Information

Oh, and just in case it’s a human reading this (it’s always possible): elves live ten times as long as humans. So one hundred and sixty to us is like sixteen to you. Wednesday 22 October Diary of a Christmas Elf is a charmingly hilarious story of Tog, an apprentice elf. Being selected by Santa isn't quite what Tog had dreamed of and it doesn't take long before he is relegated to cleaning out the reindeer stables. Tog finds himself being accused of a terrible Christmas crime and embarks on an adventure to discover the true culprit of the stolen Christmas presents. Ben Miller joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky this morning to talk about his latest children’s book Secrets of a Christmas Elf, and why it will get your kids reading. A gorgeous tale brimming with the magic of Christmas. A sheer delight for all kids both big AND small' Ruth Jones Cea mai mare dorință a lui Tog, un elf în vârstă de 160 ani (nu râdeți, este în floarea vârstei!), este să lucreze în atelierul lui Moș Crăciun, să confecționeze jucării. Doar că scrisoarea lui de intenție pare că s-a rătăcit și, în timp ce așteaptă să fie recrutat, confecționează lemuri din pluș, pentru copiii din satul elfilor. Deși jucăriile lui sunt imperfecte, dragostea adăugată în ele, de elful cu cel mai ridicat nivel al spiritului de sărbătoare, le face să fie adorate de către posesorii lor. Deși dorința i se adeverește și ajunge să lucreze în locul mult visat, viața lui Tog nu este lipsită de peripeții. Cum a reușit să salveze Crăciunul, alături de Holly, fiica lui Moș Crăciun, trebuie neapărat să aflați, parcurgând această poveste.

The other thing that makes Ben’s new book exciting to read is that it’s a countdown to Christmas day, which he thinks will also encourage children to keep reading. All I have to do is walk my brothers and sisters to school, clean the house, buy the food for supper, cook it, walk them home, help them with their homework and get them ready for bed. And I can’t even do that right. A fair few of them are Christmas themed as well, but surprisingly, Ben wasn’t always such a huge fan of the festive season.

He explained to Chris: “I think for kids, it’s a gift to read a diary because when they read stories that are in the third person, brilliant as they are- it costs a kid a lot to read a book. You always have to remember that when you’re writing for children, it costs them to read. So, you want to write something that they’re going to absolutely love, and they’re going to find funny, and they’re going to find moving and then they’re going to get a lot out of the story.” Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - A funny and heartwarming story from the King of Christmas, Ben Miller - the perfect sized gift for all the family!
