(3) K-3 When he receives a big box before Christmas, Elliot the moose believes it's an early present from Santa. He's downcast to discover the box, an empty one at that, comes from a friend instead, but he quickly realizes it's a fine gift. With a fairly light touch, Beck delivers her message about giving and receiving. Her stuffed animal world comes alive in the illustrations.
