Adorable!

Very cute story about a little girl who is bored inside on a rainy day and wishes she had a playmate. She draws a picture of an elf and he comes to life and the fun begins. I read this to my son who is almost three and he really likes the story. The only problem I have is in the beginning the girl uses the words "dumb" and "boring" which are some negative words I was trying to keep from my son for as long as possible. Aside from that, the rest of the book is very appropriate and the illustrations are gorgeous in a vintage style almost.
