Selling over 8 million copies in America, the box set has previously been crowned number 1 bestseller by Wall Street Journal
and Publisher’s Weekly. The scout elf was even invited to join Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade extravaganza last year, being the first character from an independent publisher to join the parade since Peter Rabbit in 1901.
In the wake of its success across the pond, we cannot wait for the scout elf to make his UK appearance again this Christmas. We wonder what other spots and shelves you may find him watching from this year, and more importantly what he’ll get up to when our backs are turned!
