Every Christmas Eve, the Master puts out rice pudding
for the tomtes to say thank you for their help around the house during
the year. Recently, however, the Master has forgotten, and Mama tomte
knows he will forget again this year.
This
charming story is based on an old Swedish Christmas tradition. It is
illustrated with great humor and is filled with delightful detail, as
the tomte family scurry around their Master’s house one busy Christmas
Eve.
Ages 4 and up
