Grade Level: Pre K-2
Readers who will like this: Readers who enjoy stories of farm animals and Tomten will enjoy this story.
Response/Rating (1-4): I rate this book a 4! I love Jan Brett's work. The illustrations are so detailed, authentic and full of life. Her stories are true to the culture and location in which they take place, so-much-so, that the reader feels like they are in the story!
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What do you think Hedgie's surprise will be? Who do you think will be surprised? Where do you think this story takes place? How have you been surprised?
