The Elf on The Shelf is an endearing Christmas classic that gives one of Santa's Elves the responsibility of checking on little kids to report to Santa on their behavior. The book is sold together with an elf doll which parents are to place at strategic points about the house throughout the year. When this is done kids are reminded constantly about good behavior as the elf is 'watching' them.
