First sentence: Cheep-a! Cheep-a! No more sleep-a! gasp! Oh my goodness! EEEEE! It's today! Hat Day!
Premise/plot: Gnome and Rat star in a new early chapter book series. There are five chapters in this early graphic novel for young readers: "Hat Day," "Gnome Fits In a Hat," "Gnome Grows His Hair," "Gnome's New Hat," and "Back Hat It Again." In all the stories, Gnome loves, loves, loves his hat. But things aren't always well with his hat. He must go a chapter--or two--without his beloved hat.
My thoughts: I absolutely love this one. It is so adorable and delightful. Gnome is just pure delight as a character. I love everything about him! Rat I have less a feel for as a character. But Gnome, well, I was hooked from early pages. I enjoyed all the chapters/stories. I thought there was good flow between the stories.… (más)
A cat and a pug challenging each other to a battle of verse!! HA HA HA
Seriously, I am most in love with these illustrations. They crack me up to my core. And references to haikus and all other forms of poetry is so comical. But those who understand a working of English language and poetry will enjoy this book. Storytime kids, they will just enjoy the pug writing a poem with his but and sending cat's underpants into the air.
Electronic copy received from NetGalley for review.
It's an adorable little book with cute and wholesome characters. If I had to complain about anything, it would be that Rat doesn't get enough time on the page. I expected that at least one of the stories would feature Rat, but they're all very Gnome forward. It makes me wonder about the reciprocity of their friendship if Gnome seems to be the star of the show the whole time.
This was a really fun elementary level graphic novel. It would fit nicely in collections such as Norwall and jelly. It has simple concept to understand is full color and is very tongue-in-cheek. Kids are going to love it. Can’t wait for volume to to find out what Noem does for his birthday.
