The modern gnome's life is a far cry from the stereotypes of toadstools and forest glades. In fact, these days most gnomes live in towns and cities - right alongside us! The Gnome Book is the essential guide for anyone curious about their way of life: what they eat, how they have fun, what they learn at school and even what pets they have - you'll learn about all this and more as a friendly gnome Kick shows you around his world. Each page of this richly illustrated picture book is crammed with fascinating gnome facts, jokes and advice for following the gnome lifestyle. Whether it's a step-by-step plan for making a pointy red gnome hat or a cross section of a gnome house, every spread is a feast for the eyes. After reading it, you'll be seeing signs of our gnome neighbours everywhere you look.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Charlotte ★★★★★

I love how this book turns the idea of garden gnomes on its head—the illustrations of them living in city apartments are so clever. The hardback binding feels sturdy enough to survive being read over and over.

Owen ★★★★★

My kids are obsessed with the idea that gnomes might be living in our apartment building. The hardback cover is sturdy enough for all their re-reads.

Alexander ★★★★★

I love how this book reimagines gnomes as city dwellers—it's surprisingly witty and the hardcover feels really sturdy. The illustrations are charming and the premise made me smile the whole way through.
