Good Night, Garden Gnome

32 pp. | Dial | March, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2531-0 $$15.99
(4) K-3 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.
