Review
This is book five in the series. Spork finds a garden gnome who is one of the wisest creatures on his planet. This won a Moonbeam Children's Award. The illustrations are black and white cartoonish drawings. Reminds me of Flat Stanley. The author uses idioms in the story. EX "Putting yourself in someone's shoes." So, Spork is found pulling a boot off a third graders foot to learn more about them. This story is good for beginner readers.There is also an activities section in the back of the book.
Overall Book Score: good
