From the publisher

Two clueless gnomes on a quest to crack a coconut make one blooper after another in this over-the-top funny early graphic novel series. Mossy and Tweed enjoy a perfect day in the Gnome Woods. The air is crisp, their gardens are growing, and the next-door neighbors have a good-natured argument brewing. But then a runaway coconut lands between their homes. What is inside this strange nut? The tag hints at water . . . sand . . . sunshine . . . Could it be paradise? The gnomes must know! Armed with dreams of an instant vacation, the wacky duo sets out to crack their nut. Cozy Scandinavian illustrations, oodles of “oopsies,” and easy-to-read banter are sure to delight in this new series for emerging readers. Kids will laugh themselves silly at Mossy and Tweed’s slapstick misadventures. I Like to Read(R) Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. Like their award-winning I Like to Read(R) counterparts, these books are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers.
