Safety Warnings:[IMAGE]CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs. In Santa"s Christmas village, the elves have their own way of celebrating birthdays - a tradition that goes back thousands of years.

Bell, tells the little known story of the North Pole tradition and includes special instructions for families to invite their scout elf for a birthday visit. Illustrated with classic watercolor art, it also includes a special Claus Couture Collection birthday outfit for your elf.
