In this nearly wordless picture book, a stiff garden gnome, merely another toy for a little girl by day, comes alive at night to tend the garden, befriend living and toy creatures, and escape burial by a dog. Dark watercolors combine realistic detail with close-to-surrealistic intensity. The minimal plot is easy to understand.
