The Tomten and the Fox Review: Original story with great illustrations! - Astrid Lindgren classic! Review: Great translation! - This product was so great! We got it as a gift as our friends' son's birthday present! We wanted to keep it somewhat 'Swedish' since my husband is originally from Sweden so a book by Astrid was the ideal! The story told true to the translation in Swedish and the graphics were great! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #270,962 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #272 in Children's Fox & Wolf Books (Books) #2,748 in Children's Classics #12,180 in Children's Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (559) | | Dimensions | 10 x 0.16 x 7.76 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | Grade level | Preschool - 3 | | ISBN-10 | 0698115929 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0698115927 | | Item Weight | 4.3 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | October 6, 1997 | | Publisher | Puffin Books | | Reading age | 2 - 6 years, from customers | ## Images ![The Tomten and the Fox - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xm-Y9EJgL.jpg) ![The Tomten and the Fox - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rLUqZtcNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original story with great illustrations! *by F***N on February 21, 2026* Astrid Lindgren classic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great translation! *by M***R on July 29, 2025* This product was so great!

I love that the fox is not a "bad guy" but a creature that also has to eat. The Tomten redirects him from the hen house but understands he's hungry too and feeds him porridge. As relatively recent converts from lifelong carnivores, I love that it demonstrates all creatures deserve to live and be cared for, without hurting each other, as it was in the Garden of Eden, where even all of the animals were vegetarian...check it out in Genesis. What a revelation to me! Animals were not killed by humans until later, even after the sin and they wore skins, they were provided b y God, Adam and Eve didn't have to hurt another creature. This is a sweet beautful book any child will love...it of course doesn't make the Genesis comparison, just love for the fox while protecting the chickens. Re the difficulty level, as a certified reading specialist I don't like to rate quality picture books based on readability, rather by appropriate content. Picture books are meant to be read to children not read BY them. There are plenty of books with controlled vocabulary and phonics for reading practice. Read alouds are for bonding and enjoyment. I give this to teacher friends and friends with children or grandchildren at K-2 grade.That said, when I taught sixth grade I ALWAYS ready to my students. One chapter of a chapter books but ALWAYS an additional picture book to discuss the theme. I highly recommend Leo Lionni books, that have very primary level themes "It's Mine," to more sophisticated ones like Frederick that is an updated version of Aesops grasshopper and the ant (In this one the mouse that wouldn't work wrote poetry and was honored for his work that entertained them during the winter months). The art work in his books is wonderful cut and tear and paste. John Muth is wonderful for discussion too as are so many. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Tomten and the Fox - The Tomten - Lucia Morning in Sweden --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8598188-the-tomten-and-the-fox](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8598188-the-tomten-and-the-fox) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
