This classic story of the Tomten’s nocturnal visits to all of the residents of a wintry farm has been reminding children of the promise of Spring for over 30 years.

“The friendly troll Tomten will be a welcome visitor.…Highly recommended.”—School Library Journal (starred review)

“Wiberg’s lovely, full-color paintings convey the hushed atmosphere of night in the Swedish countryside and also the sweet charms of the Tomten.… The gentle story with its eye-filling scenes is an apt choice for bedtime read-alouds.”—Publishers Weekly
