A Naughty Elf Christmas Stories: Books 1-3: Christmas Bedtime Stories
Mary Fern · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Clinton Herigstad
62/100
👎 Skip It
Three tidy morality tales — lying, stealing, and their fixes — wrapped in a Santa-and-elf frame that's short enough for an actual bedtime routine, with one narrator carrying the whole series for consistency. It's competent and values-forward but leans on Santa mythology rather than anything deeper, and there's no outside reviews to confirm the audio holds up; Clinton Herigstad's steady delivery should be an easy, familiar listen for repeat nights.
