Luisa Knight's Reviews > The Tomten

Oh dear - I love the illustrations! So wintery and cozy looking. A great book to pull out during the winter season!

I’m slightly disappointed in what I’m sure is just a couple of errors in translation. I didn’t find the opening to flow that smoothly, going back and forth between tenses. In addition, and this one is at no fault of the translator, I’m sure the poems rhymed, which of course you’d loose when switching languages, but would have created such a whimsical flow to the whimsical pictures.

Regardless, it’s a good read!

With each review, I provide a Cleanliness Report, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!
