Is this story the same as the elf on the shelf book?

This one is about a boy who doesn't believe in Santa. Totally different and not worth the money. If your child believes in Santa then why introduce them to the idea that Santa might not be real? Dumb movie and only 22 minutes long.

Hi! No, the book is different. The book is only about 25 pages & more like an overall story about what happens. The movie is SO adorable and is about a family when they get their elf & shows what the elves do, etc. It is totally different.

No it's not, I purchased this elf a week ago thinking it was the original but it's the newer one :(

Yes, they're the same thing. Bought one for then 2.5 year old last Christmas. It took him a little while to pick it up but he now cruises confidently.

I don't think it is. If you compare it to Hermione's wand in movies 3-7 it is the same. These wands actually have a Warner Brothers Trademark logo on them.

We had used the sheet music at church and I thought it was the same as the CD. However now that the question is asked I really cannot tell you for sure if it is. My daughter uses the book for guitar all the time so we love it!!!

You probably can get away with just buying one Elf. You just want to make sure you move it as soon as your children go to sleep because you don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and remember that you haven't moved it yet. Been there done that! You may also want to make sure that you put the Elf someplace where the children can't touch it and also make sure it's stable because you don't want to have the children seeing the Elf lying in its side. Good luck!!

Yes, it appears to be the same and it does come with all the items and of good quality. My daughter and great nieces have really enjoyed it. Also, I have just seen in on Amazon for less than $40.00. Hope this helps you!

I recently purchased this. It included the elf, the Elf on the Shelf storybook, and the Elf on the Shelf Activity Book. It was supposed to have a sing along cd with the activity book, however, I did not receive mine. I hope that helps! :)

Thomas, The Elf comes in the box that is shown in the picture. It has a magnetic closure, once opened the EOTS book is in a sleeve on the left-hand side and the Elf is secured on a shelf on the right-hand side. The box is durable. In my opinion the box is meant to store the book and the Elf once the Holiday season is over. It'll keep the Elf safe until it is time to visit again :) Thats what do.

No I don't believe it is the same one. This bear is very high quality and super soft. I have purchased several of these stuffed animals with eight grandchildren and I don't think I would order any other kind. They also ship quickly.

The copyright for the book is 2013. As far as I know, this is their latest. I bought several as gifts last Christmas for that reason.

There is an Activity book, the story about the Elf on the Shelf, and the actual elf in a box. It's really a great package for the price!

To be honest...I haven't watched it for a year, but...I think it has both the girl and the boy elf (and several others), as it's a story about the boy elf, but has a lot of other boys and girls elves in it. It is adorable and I think I love it as much as my granddaughter! Hope this helps!

I am sorry that I am unable to answer your questions. I have ordered 3 of these books all by requests from my daughters and nieces. Out of all the books, they liked this one best. I did however see this book in Babies R Us so you may want to check it out.
