Hedgie helps Hen find a way to keep a Tomten (a Danish elfish character) from taking one of her eggs every morning.

Another entry in the Hedgie series. This was fun to read. I suspected the ending and I was rewarded in kind. Our story is about Henney the Hen. A boy steals her eggs every morning and she wants to have children like the goose. She bemoans the egg thief. Hedgie comes along to help her. Together they plot a way to fool the boy. The boy is relatively lazy. He steals an egg, eats it and then sleeps the rest of the day.
One morning he pulls out an acorn. Then other things are pulled out, all interesting and fun. Hedgie fixes that boy good, let me tell you, he’s a smart hedgehog.
The artwork is lovely. Jan Brett is on her details game here.
The nephew enjoyed all the surprises the boy pulled out. He especially loved the ending and watching the boy run away. This would make a great little short. He gave this 3 stars. He thought it could have been more exciting.

What the f is a Tomten? So many issues with this book. How did the hen sit on the hedgehog without pain? Not all eggs become chickens!!!! And they certainly don’t hatch in 1-4 days! Why would an egg be more filling than a large potato? Why does the Mom let this brat cook?

Jan Brett writes a beautiful story but the true star of the show are her gorgeous illustrations. I love how the stunning art in the central picture is augmented by the secondary story being told in the images in the side bar. She is a tee master of her craft.
