Country singer Brad Paisley is branching out to help the Elf on the Shelf kick off the holiday season with a special storybook: The Elf on the Shelf’s Night Before Christmas.

Paisley will make an appearance on the Elf on the Shelf YouTube channel on Wednesday, Dec. 2, to narrate the story in a video. Written by Chanda Bell, the book follows a Scout Elf on a Christmas Eve mission, which almost ends in disaster before Santa saves the day. Families can also visit YouTube for a singalong with “The Elf on the Shelf’s Night Before Christmas Song” and other festive music videos, in addition to a funny elf talk show, called “Cocoa with Joe.”

“Around our house, the Christmas season is full of family time and fun traditions,” Paisley said in a press release. “One of my favorites is waking up every morning to discover what kind of happiness and hoopla the Elf on the Shelf Scout Elves got into while we were asleep. Our Scout Elves, Snowflake and Pinocchio, know how to make the holidays a time of joy, celebration, and craziness.”

Families can pick up The Elf on the Shelf’s Night Before Christmas book exclusively at Target.
