  • Frizzy, the S.A.D. Elf: Santa's Izzy Elves #4

    Dorothea Jensen, Shayne Hood

    Paperback (Independent Publisher, Aug. 7, 2014)
    The Winner of a Santa Choice Award and the first prize winning children's book in the the first ever Red City Review Book Awards! The Santa's Izzy Elves stories are not your usual picture books: older kids who are Shel Silverstein fans will enjoy them, too! Although these stories echo the famous 19th century poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas", Santa's Izzy Elves are definitely 21st century, with electronic devices galore in their North Pole workshop! In this fourth story of the series, Frizzy, one of Santa's Izzy Elves, styles the hair of Christmas dollies, but misses them dreadfully when Santa takes them away on Christmas Eve. (She suffers from S.A.D.: Seasonal Affection Distress.) Frizzy decides she needs to change her job so she doesn’t get so attached to the toys she works on. She starts making something completely different but soon finds that her plan isn’t going to work out exactly as she intended! “...a highly original and wonderfully developed children’s book...appeal[s] to…girls and boys alike…a memorable Christmas story for children that is so good…it will be enjoyed year round.” 5 Stars - Red City Review
  • Blizzy, the Worrywart Elf: Santa's Izzy Elves #2

    Dorothea Jensen, Shayne Hood

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 24, 2013)
    The Santa's Izzy Elves stories are not your usual picture books: older kids who are fans of Shel Silverstein will enjoy them, too! One reason for this is that although these stories echo the famous 19th century poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" Santa's Izzy Elves are definitely 21st century, with electronic devices galore in their North Pole workshop! This second Izzy Elf story, a recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award in the e-book category, is about Blizzy, Tizzy's "favorite lass". She is the only elf who notices that Tizzy is missing on Christmas morning. When she starts questioning all her friends about when they saw him last, and where Tizzy could possibly be, however, they think she is just being a "worrywart". What Blizzy REALLY is, however, is very, very clever, and she just might figure out the mystery!

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 24, 2013)
    The Santa's Izzy Elves stories are not your usual picture books: older kids who are fans of Shel Silvertein will enjoy these, too! One reason for this is that although these stories echo the famous 19th century poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" Santa's Izzy Elves are definitely 21st century, with electronic devices galore in their North Pole workshop! A recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award in the e-book category, this Christmas story in verse celebrates the power of children's imaginations and the magic of books. It tells what happens when two naughty boys find Tizzy, one of Santa's elves, stranded in their living room. Tizzy tells them that Santa's sleigh is powered by the imaginations of children, and pleads with them to use the power of their own imaginations to send him home. But how? "... a clever holiday read-aloud story featuring two excited siblings who sneak down early Christmas morning and discover a very special surprise. Only through their discovery of the magic of books do they find a way to send Tizzy back home. Kudos to the author for highlighting the importance of books! I recommend this book to be read aloud to children ages 5 and older." — Renee@Motherdaughterbookreviews.com.
