One Bad Day

Pages: 34
Elf Abba continues to delight parents and children alike
with her adventures. One Bad Day isn’t just a bad day for Abba. The bad day
could ruin Christmas.
In this installment of the adventure series, Abba assumes,
as do we that the famous Twelve Days of Christmas is not only popular but
accurate in its depiction. But when the partridge comes up missing, Abba finds
that it’s not only the featured player in the Christmas standard that’s
missing.
Abba’s world is full of magical creatures from around the
globe. Jubal, Percy and Azuwish accompany Abba helping her find clues to the
missing partridge.
Jubal the official
with the sparkly ranger suit tries to lead the expedition by giving orders. Percy
the giant bear helps everyone see things clearly, in more than one way. Azuwish
looks like an elf but is actually from Atlantis. Azuwish’s mixed lineage comes
in handy when the villain tries to befuddle everyone but becomes frustrated
instead.
Everyone knows the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Would
you be surprised to find that there is more to it that just twelve days? Did
you know that if the Partridge in the Pear tree is missing there is no song?
One Bad Day turns out alright when Abba and her friends discover the true
Christmas song and find more than just the missing Partridge. And they do it
all, just in time for Christmas!
One Bad Day is the fifth story in The Adventures of Elf
Abba. It is a wonderful addition to traditional Christmas stories. Recommended
for children of all ages.
