This was one of my favourite books as a child. The art is beyond gorgeous, with intricate details and little hidden things to find on every page, and the story is sweet and has a great sentiment. An absolutely wonderful children's story, I couldn't recommend it more highly!

My poor little heart just wants to live in a Jan Brett book 99% of the time.

I loved this beautiful book with it’s Northern setting. A family is bringing home a Christmas tree they cut down in the woods and they are bringing home more than they bargained for - Trolls. Christmas items begin to disappear all around the house and Treva figures out who is taking their things. A hedgehog comes into play in this story and I wonder if he is related to Hedgie. Treva teaches the trolls all about Christmas and what it means and she herself has her understanding expanded by helping them.
It’s a beautiful book with Jan’s amazing borders of artwork. Sometime they are on the side, the bottom or the top. The artwork has some detailed Nordic or Lapland looking architecture and symbols. The details Jan gives are stunning. She is one of my favorite authors of children’s books.
It’s Christmas and the niece likes to read the Christmas books with us sometimes. So, we all read this, together again. She loved this book and thought the trolls were so very cute. She gave this 4 stars. The nephew thought the trolls were so much better than the Dreamworks trolls and very funny. He liked Mig and Tig. He gave this book 5 stars. He wanted to get a Hedgehog too. He also enjoyed the reindeer that the children owned in the book. They have been trying to get a chicken for the yard and their parents won’t even let them have a chicken and these kids, in the story, get a reindeer. The niblings are going to lodge a complaint.

A cute story of a girl showing some trolls what the spirit of Christmas is really about. And of course Jan Brett's illustrations are gorgeous!

Treva notices things are missing as Christmas approaches. She discovers the culprits, two trolls, and teaches them what Christmas is really all about. Ages 5-8.
