Laugh your whiskers off with Albert the Gnome in this charming and funny picture book about friendship, self-acceptance — and beards! A beard is the biggest point of pride for a Gnome, but poor Al can’t sprout a single whisker. Each year, Al feels left out of the Beards International Gnome-athalon, B.I.G. So Al decides to go BIG or go Gnome! It’s a close shave, but with a hidden talent and the help of his friend, Gnorm, Al learns accepting that you are different is the key to fitting in.
Silly story, absolutely darling illustrations! Plus, dialog for gnomes gives ample opportunity to use silly voices. A perfect read-aloud book!
Kirsten Mayer has written several books for children, including Game of Gnomes, Go BIG or Go Gnome!, and a New York Times bestseller. She lives in New York City, amidst towers of books and shoes, with two bratty cats and one patient husband.
