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.

About the Author

Loes Riphagen is a Dutch picture book author and illustrator who made her debut in 2008 and whose work has since gone on to be published in twenty countries across the world. She grew up on a farm near a forest, and was always fascinated by the stories of the gnomes that her mother told her lived in the woods. The stories stayed with her, and so many years later she decided that she wanted to write a book about modern, urban gnomes - The Gnome Book is the result!
