Editorial reviews
This preschool pastoral from Astrid Lindgren - she of Pippi Longstocking fame - teaches children about the vast, timeless beauty of nature. The tale concerns a tomten: a nocturnal, elflike creature from Scandinavian folklore, said to watch over the fortunes of farmers. No human has ever seen the tomten, although his small footprints may be spotted in the morning snow. Rather, the tomten flits about under the night sky, communing with barnyard beasts in his "silent little language" that only animals understand. In humble, soft-spoken hues, prolific children’s storyteller Owen Jordan lends a soothing sense of timeless wisdom and tranquility to these moonlit meanderings. At once omnipresent and elusive, immense yet mysterious, the mythical tomten stands as a metaphor for our own relationship with nature.
The audio book is so well done. It’s got lovely music. When the author is reading from a page you get to see the page which will change to the next one when he reads from the next one, if you’re looking at the app. This can be so great to keep your child’s attention when you need that without sticking them in front of a crazy kids tv show.
