Industry Reviews

"A wickedly devious, humorous cautionary tale"
Kirkus

"Fans of Jon Klassen's more naturalistic outings will best appreciate the just desserts a surly gnome receives here... not only a cautionary lesson about the importance of good manners but also insight into the origins of a common garden ornament. Double the value!"
Booklist

"If you're looking for a story with funny baddies and a subtle lesson about being polite - this is the one."
Storytime

"Fred Blunt's books are always perfectly timed comic gems, and Gnome is no exception... you'll never look at garden gnomes in a garden centre the same way again."
