Jan Brett's beloved character Hedgie stars in this charming story about a little Tomten who gets tired of porridge for breakfast and starts stealing Henny's eggs. But Henny wants a brood of chicks and she needs her eggs. With the help of clever Hedgie, she substitutes an acorn, a strawberry, a mushroom and finally a potato in her nest. But nothing stops that Tomten until the little hedgehog hides in Henny's nest: when the Tomten reaches in to get his morning treat, all he gets is a handful of prickles. He runs home for porridge and never comes back again! Intricate needlepoint patterns of Scandinavian designs frame the characters reacting from the borders in this beautiful picture book set in Denmark.

The story of Tomten is a long-established Swedish folktale. His legend is a precursor to and an early version of the modern-day Santa Claus. Way up in the Northernland, during the dark, long winter nights, the reading of Viktor Rydberg's "Tomten" has become an annual Scandinavian tradition. It was first published in the magazine "Ny Illustrerad Tidning" in 1881. Scandinavian children have long heard the tales of Tomten wandering through the farm and into the house-how he comes for his regular visit, looking after the animals and watching over the inhabitants, occasionally stopping to ponder the deeper questions of life. Every year, children young and old wait with hope and anticipation for that mysterious being who still comes for his annual visit. When "midwinter night's cold is hard" and you are very still and quiet, you might hear him tiptoe through your house, too.
