Elf is wishing for a snowy Christmas. Elf meets Angel and Angel magically makes it snow...and snow...and snow! The two quickly see that it's snowing too much, but Angel loses her magic wand in the snow and can't reverse the magic. Along comes Santa with some magic of his own and Mother Nature lends a helping hand too in making this an unforgettable Christmas!

Angel and Elf Snowy Magic is a charmingly written and illustrated story complete with a board book edition that is the perfect size to stuff in your little one's Christmas stocking!

We hear definitely exceeded expectations. From the covers, I thought they’d be either religious or overly twee. But the stories were interesting.

I really liked that they apologized to the squirrels.
