Hedgie's Surprise

More about the book

In this delightful tale, a little Tomten grows tired of his usual porridge and begins stealing Henny's eggs, which she needs for her chicks. With the clever assistance of Hedgie, Henny devises clever substitutes for her eggs, but the Tomten remains undeterred until Hedgie's unexpected intervention leads to a prickly surprise. Set against intricate Scandinavian needlepoint designs, this charming picture book captures the playful conflict and resolution in a beautifully illustrated Danish backdrop.
