Irwin is the smallest, and busiest, elf at the North Pole. When Santa overlooks one wrapped present on Christmas Eve and the others tell Irwin to "go to bed, chucklehead," he instead sets out on what becomes a hilarious journey to deliver that last present. Full-color illustrations.

Internationally recognized children's book author Matt Novak has been writing and illustrating picture books for over 20 years. Among his many titles are The Everything Machine, No Zombies Allowed, and Twelve Snails to One Lizard (A Reading Rainbow Book). His books have garnered many awards including School Library Journal's Best Book of the Year for Mouse TV, and the International Reading Association's Children's Choice Award for Newt.
Ages 4-7. In the Santa's workshop of Novak's imagination, elves are mustachioed men wearing suits and matching bowler hats. They throw orders around because, here, rank has its privileges. And Irwin--being low elf on the totem pole--doesn't have any. So it is that soon after Santa leaves on Christmas Eve, Irwin discovers a present that has been left behind and decides to deliver it himself (since the others ignore his pleas). Our determined hero (with sidekick dogfriend Blitz) ventures into "unexplored territory"--dodging wolves, an avalanche, the abominable snowman, and sharks--and finally delivers the gift to Sam, a pigtailed little girl. But it is not the last Christmas present. That turns out to be a big surprise for all the elves at the North Pole. Like his Elmer Blunt's Open House , Novak's picture book is reminiscent of a comic book, with bright acrylic paintings, conversation bubbles, and clean page design. Kathryn Broderick
