The Gnome from Gnome is the story of a gnome who is cold and in Alaska. It tells his journey through Alaska and the ways he tries to get warm including shouting and a fire that catches his beard on fire. The gnome decides to use magic to turn everything in to gold in hopes he can trade it to the humans for their secret on how to stay warm. The illustrations are simple, but effective in supporting the story and giving imagery to the words. The tone of the book is adventurous.
