Sherlock Elf & the missing baby reindeer

Sherlock Elf & the missing baby reindeer
Can Sherlock Elf find the missing baby reindeer?

Hello. Santa Claus here again.  Have you met Sherlock Elf?  One of my baby reindeer recently went missing.  I called Sherlock Elf for help.  He really is a clever little elf.  Do you think Sherlock Elf found our missing baby reindeer? Let’s find out.

It all began on a cold morning last week.  I woke up and went for a walk.  I was walking past the reindeer barn. I chose to check on the baby reindeer.  They were very excited to see me.  But something was wrong.  One of the reindeer was missing.  I looked and looked but could not find the missing baby reindeer.  I quickly called Sherlock Elf.

“Was the door locked when you got here?” asked Sherlock.

“Yes,” I replied.

“Sweet sugar plums and sleigh bells!” said Sherlock quietly.

Sherlock Elf wanted to speak to the last elf to see the reindeer.  Mouse the Littlest Elf had fed them last night.

“Could a reindeer have snuck past you?” Sherlock asked Mouse.

“No way,” said Mouse.

“The Northern Lights were very bright last night,” said Sherlock.

“Yes,” said Mouse, “I remember looking at them for a long time and… OH! A reindeer could have snuck past me while I was looking at them!”

“Sweet sugar plums and sleigh bells!” said Sherlock quietly.

“There are small circles in the snow,” said Sherlock.

“Yes,” I said.

“Sweet sugar plums and sleigh bells!” said Sherlock. “Let’s follow the circles.”

We followed the circles to Mouse’s house. We admired Mouse’s floating flowers, Leviosa Lilies. She had sprinkled them with reindeer dust so they could float.  There was also a reindeer-sized splotch in the snow.

“How many flowers do you have?” asked Sherlock.

“Ten,” said Mouse.

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, AHA!” said Sherlock. “We need a ladder.”

Can you guess where the missing baby reindeer was?

Mouse the Littlest Elf had walked from her house to feed the reindeer.  On the way she had dropped some carrots.  While she was feeding the reindeer she began watching the Northern Lights.  When she was looking away a baby reindeer had snuck past her.  The reindeer had followed the dropped carrots back to Mouse’s house.  There he had found the floating flowers.  He had eaten one and fallen asleep.  The reindeer dust gave him enough power to float a short distance.  He had flown up on top of Mouse’s house in his sleep!  Then the magic dust had worn off.  Now the baby reindeer was stuck!

It did not take us very long to get the baby reindeer down. Sherlock Elf really is a clever elf.  I bet you are clever too!  Can you use your detective skills to find the answers to these questions?

How many floating flowers did Mouse have at her house?
What do baby reindeer eat?
Where did we find the baby reindeer?

Good luck!
