Description
When an elf comes to stay, you're sure to have lots of fun. But wouldn't 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . or even 10 elves be better still?
Or would their over-enthusiastic present-wrapping and noisy festive tunes create just a bit too much Christmas chaos?!
Perhaps just one special elf friend is perfect . . .
How Many Elves is Too Many? by Lou Peacock explores the adventures and potential chaos that comes with having more than one elf during the festive season.

About the Author
Lou Peacock (Author)
Lou Peacock is lucky enough to have one of the best jobs in the world: 'Publishing Director of Picture Books' at Nosy Crow. She has a degree in English Literature from Oxford University, and over twenty years' experience in children's publishing. She started her editorial career working on novelty books, but has focussed on picture books and poetry for the last 15 years. She often puts her author hat on to write picture books for Nosy Crow and has a notebook full of scribbled ideas.
Nicola Slater (Illustrator)
Born in the wild and windy north, Nicola began her career as an usher, but life by the big screen was too heady and too fast. Instead, she chose to study Illustration in Buckinghamshire, where she developed a passion for children's books that far surpassed her love of popcorn. She has since had books published here and in the United States, which include Best Friends, Spot a Lot, and Leaping Lemmings. Nicola lives with her family in Cheshire, close to the local cinema where she likes to occasionally lurk in the foyer.
