Description
In the hidden world of Fibberton, a story unfolds about the importance of being honest, much like the lessons in Aesop's fables. The Gnomes of Fibberton tells a tale where mysterious gnomes keep track of the lies, half-truths, and tall tails of the children throughout the world. This story shows how even a small lie can cause big problems, teaching kids why it's important to tell the truth. Just like Aesop's fables taught lessons long ago, this book helps young readers understand why honesty matters in a fun and magical way.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest feedback. This is a story that teaches children a lesson on the importance of telling the truth. Very cute read with a very important lesson. Honestly is the best policy!

I actually really like this book! One thing I want to make sure I note is that the illustrations were great! Mainly what I liked about them was that the gnomes actually resembled gnomes. You'd be surprised at how difficult this can be sometimes! Additionally, the illustrations were very colorful and cartoony, which allows this book to still have a fun and energetic vibe.
As for the story: it was super unique, creative, and made a lot of sense. Written like a classic fairytale or fable, The Gnomes of Fibberton has a clear plot and a magical moral/lesson at the end. I have zero doubt that kids will walk away from this book completely believing in these gnomes, and they will be highly encouraged to be more honest. Additionally, I really liked how the author tied the ending all the way back to the beginning. This really helps to bring the story full-circle and allows every aspect of the book to make complete sense.
All in all, this is an awesome book; bravo!
