Official synopsis Publisher
An adorable Christmas retelling of The Little Red Hen that’s the perfect reminder that everyone needs to help to make the holidays a success.
A busy little elf cleans up and organizes Santa’s workshop all by herself, but when she asks for help from her lazy friends, the reindeer, the penguin, and the hare, no one wants to help. She plants a pinecone herself, brings the Christmas tree indoors herself, and decorates it all by herself. She even puts out the milk and cookies for Santa herself. When the morning comes and it’s time to open presents, the elf knows just how to reward her friends.
A classic tale of hard work and just desserts, perfect for the holiday season.
