Gnomes live in a place called The Pocket — which is, it turns out, all around us, all the time. Their jobs include babysitting robin's eggs, fluffing squirrels' tales, and weaving messages into spider webs. Their names are Hotchi-Mossy, Beatrix Nut, and Cob Tiggy. Lauren Soloy's  field guide to gnome life is soft, earthy, and full of wondrous details. A perfect gift for any child who believes, or wants to believe, that there is magic hiding just out of sight.
