With a nasty bug sweeping the globe, Santa's workshop is forced to close and all his elves placed into lockdown. Without access to the high tech toy-making machines in the workshop, there's no way the elves can possibly make all the toys they need this Christmas, and they fall into despair. Could this be the year that the magic of Christmas is lost forever? The newest, youngest and smallest elf on record refuses to accept this thought and wants nothing more than to make Christmas magic for all the children on Santa's list. Inspired by her own bow-tying skills, she starts making gifts from whatever she can find. But her parents, convinced that the only way to make toys today is by pushing buttons on a machine, tell her it's pointless. The smallest elf stumbles upon an old workshop in her back garden, full of tools and perfectly matched to her size. The workshop was her Gran's - a small elf too - and inspired, she quickly learns how to make toys out of wool, wood and other things with the help of her animal friends. Just when she thinks she's cracked it, she learns from Santa that the only way he can make the sleigh fly is to make EVERY SINGLE PRESENT on the list. And she's way, way off. Luckily the other small elves in the village have been watching this saga unfold. Keen to save Christmas too, they join her in making every last toy in one epic final push on Christmas Eve Eve - ready for Santa to fill his sleigh and take the toys out to the world. As the sleigh takes to the sky we realise that Mikka has done it! Saved Christmas for all - It's astounding, the things you can do when you're small. Colour illustrations on every page
