Reviews
""Hokkanen packs lots of silly, Looney Tunes–style slapstick into this slim early reader comic, and the bright, cartoonish art style is a perfect match for the comedy. The fantasy setting is charming and will appeal to kids moving between independent picture- and chapter- book reading.""—Booklist ""The text within the speech bubbles is brief, and though the vocabulary is simple, the dialogue is delightfully dramatic. Colorful and detailed cartoon illustrations capture the comedy well and will keep beginning readers turning the pages. Readers will giggle at these beleaguered gnomes’ misguided attempts at achieving their goal.""—Kirkus Reviews
