Overview

Elves in the Boeoekhouse is a puzzle of a children's picture book.... about a group of Elves who take over a curbside library (aka a boeoekhouse) - or do they? No Elf is ever seen and the question of whether they exist or not... becomes something a little girl named Raye (aka the heroine of this story) and Tummy (her pet cat)... don't quite agree on. They must decide for themselves as they replace each day the books borrowed by other children. Clues are evident - but how should they be interpreted? And with what consequences? The children you are lucky enough to read this story to will likewise have to make their own decisions. As it ends, be sure to ask them what they think and why. It's the best part of the book.
