My Elf Is a Teacher Christmas picture book cover by Joey and Melanie Acker from The Wonder Who Crew series

My Elf is a Teacher

What if one of Santa's elves was secretly a school teacher?

Santa has a sneaking suspicion that one of his elves might be living a double life. Ms. Holly seems like an ordinary elf, but some of her unusual habits have Santa wondering if she's actually a teacher!

In My Elf Is a Teacher, Santa and his elves begin to investigate whether Ms. Holly is really one of Santa's helpers or a school teacher in disguise. After all, she's incredibly helpful, sings songs when it's time to clean up, drinks coffee instead of hot cocoa during her breaks, and always seems to keep her pointy ears covered.

But is Ms. Holly secretly a school teacher, or is she simply a very special elf?

This funny Christmas picture book brings together the magic of Santa's workshop and the everyday world of elementary school teachers. With playful clues, holiday humor, and imaginative storytelling, it's a festive adventure for children, families, and classrooms.
