Description
Summary:"From the renowned creator of Hilda, the acclaimed comics and the Emmy and BAFTA-winning animated series on Netflix, Luke Pearson, comes an irresistibly silly picture book about a pesky gnome who turns a family's peaceful morning upside down -- and sends them on a delightfully chaotic adventure. If a gnome with a magical-looking hat turns up at your door one day, whatever you do ... don't let him in! When a knock at the door interrupts their breakfast, a family and their home are thrown into disarray by a gleefully naughty gnome. With a whistle and a pop, everything is topsy turvy. The rug has turned into pizza, Daddy is transformed into a biscuit (and must resist eating his own arm) and a funny-looking interdimensional door opens in the hallway. Despite Mummy's warnings, the rest of her family just can't help themselves from falling for this cheeky little gnome's increasingly fantastical pranks in a perfectly paced series of mishaps, mischief and mayhem. Just when things seem impossibly out of hand (and tentacle and wing), Mummy discovers how to stop the gnome's magical misadventures for good ... or so they think! Come along for a hilariously unpredictable ride in this picture book adventure that kids will want to read over and over again."--
