Meet the Izzies!
Here is Tizzy's description of all the Izzy Elves. (Tizzy himself, we later learn, picks out the books that Santa brings to children.) Anyway, all the Izzies are VERY BUSY today. Here's a message from them: We Izzies are starting to reach panic mode/We try not to worry, but find our work load/A bit overwhelming at this time of year:/We just can't believe Christmas Eve is so NEAR! (To see what all the Izzies look like, visit my website, dorotheajensen.com, and look at the Izzy Elf Games and Pix page. (You'll find a handy link to the website either to the left of the bubble, or up above.)
Book Excerpt
Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf
“Every elf in our section has that kind of name.
S. C. makes them up; it's a kind of a game.
There’s Whizzy, who rushes around, always scurries.
He probably packed me, in one of his flurries.
Now, Fizzy and Dizzy—they both specialize
In holiday treats and in toys that surprise:
Hand buzzers and squirt guns and magical rings,
Jacks in the boxes and those sorts of things.
Then Bizzy, of course, is S. C.’s right hand man
He bosses the others whenever he can.
Quizzy makes puzzles and games—quite a trick!
She turns them out cleverly. My, she is quick!
Our Frizzy’s the resident expert up there
At cutting and curling the Christmas dolls’ hair.
While Blizzy’s the last (she’s my favorite lass)
She fashions the snowflakes that swirl under glass.”
