- Reviews -

' Astrid Lindgren' s Tomten Tales have been delighting children for decades through soft and simple prose paired with gentle watercolor illustrations. . . Readers and listeners will be able to understand the message of kindness and appreciate the story of the Tomten, even without knowing its origins. . . This is a great story for quiet storytimes (either in groups or one-on-one) for early elementary students. -- Youth Services Book Review' Worthy as a gift or a replacement for battered old copies of the originals. (Picture book. 6--8)' -- Kirkus' Two classic stories by Sweden' s acclaimed children' s author have been created into this charming edition with the original soft, enchanting illustrations by Harald Wilberg allowing the world of the Tomten to be vividly brought to life. ' -- Outside in World' Children love these stories!' -- KindlingPraise for The Tomten:' Astrid Lindgren writes evocatively of long cold winters and the benevolent guardianship of the Tomten. A lovely, feelgood picture book with traditionally styled illustrations that show the Tomten as a genial gnome-like figure. Delightful! Families Rating: 5 out of 6' -- Families South West magazine' It would be hard to find a nicer bedtime story. Beautifully painted, quiet moonlit scenes and poetic words tell of the Tomten, a small elf-like person who lives on a farm. It is a beautiful cosy tale of winter bedtimes, very comforting and definitely one of our favourites. ' -- Hilary Woolf with Isaac (age 4), Education Otherwise
