ELF-HELPElf-help Books and Elf-help Books for Kids are published by Abbey Press Trade Books, St. Meinrad, Indianna. There are two series of Elf-help Books; one for children in a full color format and one for adults with pen and ink drawings. The children's titles, Elf-help for Kids, are listed first. The Elf-Help Books for Adults begins about halfway down the page. ELF-HELP BOOKS FOR KIDS A lot happens to children. And, a lot of what happens can be confusing and disquieting. Adults sometimes forget how easily a child's world can be turned upside down -- even events that seem comonplace to a grownup. So, the folks at Abbey Press and I imagined how our elf children would confront these situations and how the adults in their lives would help them out. Here's the complete list of Elf-help for Kids Books. And, like the adult books, many of these books are finding their way to other countries in other languages.
