Hedgie's Surprise

(3) K-3 When an elf-like Tomten steals Henny's egg every morning, her pal Hedgie the hedgehog helps her trick the mischievous thief with substitutes, until Henny finally has a brood of her own chicks, hatched somewhat improbably by Hedgie. Red-and-white Scandinavian needlepoint borders frame detailed paintings depicting the main story, while inset medallions extend and interpret the well-paced action.
