Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
I am a New York Times, Amazon and USA Today Bestselling author who loves writing stories that make children laugh and get excited about reading and drawing and writing . I also love taking naps and listening to music. Not at the same time.
I have over 80 books published and out in the world, and love each one as if it were my child ... except if that child is like really naughty and always breaks my favourite things and writes bad words on the walls of our house.
None of my books are like that.
From How to Catch books to How to Draw books. From gross books to action and adventure books. From inspirational to just plain funny, there's something here for kids of all reading abilities, and all ranges of interests.
Check them out, and always feel free to get in touch at wally@adam-wallace-books.com
I would love to connect and hear your thoughts, on my books, writing, or anything else you feel like chatting about!
I personally answer each and every email ... I have to. My assistant is really slack.

Wow... seriously?

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2018

I too was tricked into buying this without actually reading the reviews. This book is complete garbage - poorly written and not a positive message for kids. I’m actually still not sure what the message of the book was after reading it to my 4 yr old. If you still end up purchasing this book as I have... then you deserve the outcome. For the other reviews that claim this to be a great book... I have no words.

So adorable

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I homeschool my girls and found a worksheet packet with activities and color sheets online pertaining to this book so I bought it to go with those activities. This book is so adorable. My girls loved it and have read it multiple times. Their favorite part, of course, is where the Elf gets his bottom zapped 😂 and where they eat pizza 🍕 I recommend this book for all ages up to probably ten years old even.

Great Christmas Eve book

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

Family tradition to read a Christmas themed book on Christmas Eve. Oldest (2 under 5) picked this one and both were very interested and both were able to stay attentive thru the end. Which is asking a lot of any book on Christmas Eve. I’ve seen the oldest “reading” it since that night and she’s also asked me to read it again to her. Great illustrations and an easy to follow story. I’ve gotten two others in the line (how to catch a unicorn and dinosaur) and both are also favorites.

I bought this book to go with 23 other books we bought from amazon to make our Boys an advent for Christmas, I'm super happy with the quality of this book for the future years to come in our new family tradition of reading one Christmas book a day until Christmas eve every year.

Loved it

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

My 4 year old loved it!! I got this one for him and another one for my 2 year old when I prepared a special breakfast. We got the Elf on the Shelf and made a big parade for his entry this year, and I set up a fancy table with donuts and hot chocolate for them. At the table they found their elf-themed books and loved them. (It took a while to set everything up, but it is once a year, right? the books were not expensive, which helps too!)

No Plot, Bad Ryhmes, NonSensical, Violent.

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

I want to like this book, but it is awful on pretty much every front. Have no idea how it has sold so much. Bad/broken rhymes, nonsensical story, the different places they go have no logic to them. From start to finish. I don't know how else to describe it but nonsensical. Also, there are places that are pretty dark and strange for a children's book--and a holiday book to boot! A cat trying to kill Santa's elf? Another toy prodding him with an electric shocker/brander? Another room where a bomb has been set up to blow up the elf/Santa and a bunch of food (trying to look like mission impossible but no reason why...)? Then a visit to a random grocery store again with a food cannon to blow Santa and the elf away? Doesn't make any sense. No story line, bad rhymes, no holiday cheer or message, and borderline deranged. Would not recommend to anyone.

great first grade class book

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Purchased as a back up gift for the first grade teacher to have in case a child didn't bring one to class for a book exchange right before winter break. It was a perfect addition to the book exchange and if not needed to her class book set!

Cute Christmas time book

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

We have a few of these books of this set. My 2yr old very much enjoys this one as she does others. It also made a nice gift for my 4 yr old niece and nephew. Colors or bright and phrases are fun for parents to read to little loved ones. Clever books, highly recommend

Nope. Just don't bother.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ignoring the lack of story line and the dreadful attempts at rhyme, there is simply too much violence for a book for small children and certainly not at Christmas. We want feel good stuff at this time of year. I hadn't realised that it was an Americanised text so British children won't know what a touche is etc. I was looking for cheap children's books to give out at a party. So desperately let down by this that it went straight in the charity bag to donate but was worried about even doing that as I feel it's inappropriate.

Seriously?

Seriously a bestseller? No plot just pictures to sell the book.

The Snow Alien Complete Series is far better but nowhere near the scam Amazon charts

My kids love reading it. But it seems less attractive to my 7-year-old daughter.
