is the book with female elf different from the one with the boy elf?

She has 'blush' on her cheeks and earrings on her ears. But you will have to buy her skirt separately. But I wanted a girl so it was worth it. Also, there are different skirts so you have a choice as far as her skirt goes :) I hope this was helpful.Merry Christmas,Allison

The only thing that ia different is the elf wears a skirt in the girl book amd does not in the boy book.

Although I haven't read both versions, I would think the only difference would be gender of the elf.

The girl elf book talks about a girl elf same story - gender matches the story

They look the same when I open it on my iPad. My granddaughter loved it! It helps to also have the book.

Good question... I've pulled up some specs. Other than paint color and other decorative elements, I find no difference between the 'boys' and 'girls' models.

This one is a boy. There another one that looks exactly like this one but it is a girl. Just make sure you purchase the right one or the one or your preference by taking a good look at the tittle of the listing.

Yes, In the box is the elf and the book. The box is really nice and sturdy so you can store the elf in it each year. You open and close the box on the side, which is magnetic. Very nice!!

They are the same. The pic looks different. We use the extra base for our granddaughter.

I don't know since it was for my grandson. I would assume that it is since there doesn't appear to be a girl version.

I don't know for sure but I know that the books work with both. Same technology, go online see if you can download the "book" to the junior reader. If you can it will work.

To the child it has magic and it moves. The adult has to do the moving every night. Most of us who have one find delight in setting up different things for the elf to do.! We have "Lilia" at the public library, the children and adults have fun seeing what she has been up to!Check Pinterest for ideas.

2012 third edition. He is almost identical to our first elf that we got in 2010. We have two elves to manage 4 very energetic boys. His hair is a darker brown and his cheeks are a bit chubbier and although they are the same size, his arms are longer but if you do not have the two to compare together, I think the kids would not really notice. Even now, my kids still get them mixed up.

This is the game not the original elf on the shelf that you can name, hide and has the book with it the link below is the one you want of you don't have an elf. I bought this as a fun game. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0088260TC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1385736157&sr;=8-1π=SX200

I only purchased the Peek a Boo Forest. It had four inside pages plus they used the inside front & back covers. Very nice book that our Grand-daughter who's just one loved it and loved lifting the flaps to see what is underneath! I think it's worth it!

I am not sure there is a difference. I picked by color. You can actually go on line and get a "Furbish" dictionary. It actually adapts language as you interact with it more and more. My girl enjoys hers and uses it a lot. I hope this helps.
