(3) K-3 Only one student at Greenthumb Elementary disrupts everyone's gardening efforts: Gnome ignores the teacher, goes berserk with the hose, etc. But when he realizes his behavior is alienating his classmates, he becomes a garden(ing) gnome. The book is funny, playfully illustrated, and unobtrusively message-y: the multiracial cast of human and rabbit classmates unblinkingly accepts bearded, white-haired, probably-elderly Gnome as one of their own.
