A very polite kid tries to keep his cool when a horde of rude garden gnomes takes over his life - and my kiddo thought it was hilarious. The story was super cute, the illustrations were extra fun, and we had such a good time reading it together.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC 🪄🧝‍♂️📚

I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for a review. I thought this book was adorable and really enjoyed reading it to my daughter.

My 4 year old says “It was good! I really liked when he opened the gnome school.” She gave it 3 stars but I’m bumping to 4 because I enjoyed reading it.

This book was super cute and had a great message. My son and I loved the illustrations as well! Highly recommend for grade schoolers.

Delightful! Great for fans of the Creepy Carrot books. I liked the balance of humor and suspense, and the lesson about being both polite and honest.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this adorable, terrifically written storybook.

Herbert is great with his manners except for her gets being rude and honest mixed up. This book is such a great way to talk about being honest but being mindful of others feelings. I am going to love grabbing this for my classroom!!

Loved this! The artwork was fabulous and I loved the story. Herbert is a dog after my own heart. I would also feel creeped out and want to teach them a lesson! In fact, I did feel creeped out. Their little gnome stares and gnome smiles were horrid! Read with the lights on 😉

Herbert is the politest kid in town. He is so polite that he won a medal. His favorite person in the world is his nanny, Ms Goat. one day, Ms Goat brings home a creepy gnome. Then another. And another. Herbert does not like them, but, not wanting to hurt Ms Goat's feelings, he says nothing. This is a cute story about be honest while still being polite. The illustrations are fun and engaging, and the gnomes are creepy without being scary.

The illustrations in NO MORE GNOMES are too cute. Herbert’s faces were cracking me up the whole time.

No More Gnomes was a great read. It was very funny and quirky while also teaching kids that it's okay to be honest and set boundaries while also being polite! The illustrations were great and had a very cozy sort of feel to them.

I LOVE MR. TIDDLYWINKS and all. the faces of the Gnomes!
Their faces alone had me giggling! This book is an absolute delight from start to finish. It’s super engaging, full of charm, and has that special spark that makes you think, "This could totally be a TV show!"

Beyond the laughs and the quirky fun, there's a lovely deeper message tucked in about politeness and honesty, something kids (and adults!) can really take to heart. A rare gem with both heart and hilarity. More Gnomes and staring creatures and HERBERT please!
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC

As someone with a gnome garden, and dogs, this is perfect! My daughter has recently started her reading journey, so I have added a few books to my ipad mini for her to read on kindle when on the go. The cover is so cute and I love the colors / illustrations!

This is such a cute book. The lesson about learning to tell the truth which can still be polite is so important for kids. It was really helpful to read how Herbert described his fear/ being uncomfortable without explicitly stating it. I 1000% agree with Herbert those gnomes were terrifying. I loved the way he solved his problem by teaching the gnomes how to be polite.

What a fun book on how to be polite and still tell others how you feel. The poor little kid in this book is freaked out by the gnomes his next door neighbor and favorite babysitter starts bringing home for her yard but how to tell her and not hurt her feelings. Luckily the little kid learns how in this sweet picture book.

This was such a pleasure to read. It was properly freaky, but in a way that kids can still enjoy and learn the lessons from while laughing along to all the goofiness. The illustrations were bright and enjoyable, the characters endearing (except for the gnomes of course) and the plot was perfectly engaging. A wonderful little book that I think will maybe cause a fear of gnomes for some kids but for the others- they'll be getting a great laugh.

This was cute! I think the message, such as it was, got a little lost, and in general I have a complicated relationship with the idea of politeness (vs. other more genuine types of communication). Also, those gnomes weren't hurting anyone. Maybe Herbert needed to confront his discomfort for a minute and stop trying to change the gnomes to increase his personal sense of comfort. I'm not clear if the gnomes were supposed to be alive or not. If not, the ending makes Herbert a little bit of a sociopath. If so, the nanny is awfully chill when she assumes that he destroyed them. Am I overthinking these gnomes? Maybe. But I felt like the internal logic wasn't fully hashed out.

Anyway, this was pretty funny., and the illustrations are great. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC of this gnome-critical propaganda piece. xD

"No More Gnomes" is a delightful children's book that teaches important lessons about being polite and honest. The story is engaging and the characters are relatable, making it easy for kids to understand the value of good manners and honesty. Even adults can learn from the straightforward messages in this charming book.

Herbert is the most polite kid in town, he has a medal and everything! The problem is he can't stand the way Ms. Goat's new garden gnomes STARE at him. He doesn't want to be impolite, but someone has to teach them a lesson! This is a great picture book that teaches us that sometimes it's hard to be polite and honest, but it is important. I mean, even I was creeped out by the gnomes!

I thought this was a cute book that showed children how to be assertive without being rude. I can see the gnomes being scary for some smaller children though. It also encouraged young readers to face their fears and be polite. I would definitely use it at work with my students.

This was a super adorable book. The illustrations were great and the story was even cuter. I am a sucker for childrens book that use different fonts to catch kids attentions and where the illustration are simple but varied.

Incredibly funny, and teaches a lesson about advocating for yourself without being obvious that it was teaching a lesson. I love books like these that are odd and quirky, they make amazing read alouds! Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for letting me read!
