This book is for children of all ages. With The Elf on the Shelf books being so popular at this time of the year, this book takes a look at a toy elf (favored toy) that belongs to Timmy. They never went anywhere without each other. Now Timmy can't find his elf, Gordon.
Timmy's mom brought home a new Elf on the Shelf. Gordon feels like Timmy doesn't care about him at all. Meanwhile, Gordon is very much on Timmy's mind throughout. This book looks at emotions that we all have at one point or another. It touches on feeling loss, depressed, uncertain, determined, etc. Help your child see that they don't always need to search for something new because they may already have what they really want.
