The Tomtes' Christmas Porridge by Sven Nordqvist

It's Christmas Eve, and Papa tomte is eagerly waiting for the human family to leave out a bowl of porridge, to say thank you for the tomtes' help throughout the year. But Mama tomte has a terrible feeling the family have forgotten the porridge! Mama tomte and the children hatch a plan to steal a bowl of Christmas porridge. Can they sneak through the house without being seen? This charming story is based on the old Swedish Christmas tradition of leaving a sweet treat to thank the magical gnome-like creatures. Sven Nordqvist, one of Sweden's most popular author and illustrators, has created a playful festive tale, full of delightful details
