Summary
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.

My Kid Review
Parents and teachers everywhere wonder how to get their children to stop lying. Becky Bell has crafted a creative storyline of what happens to children who tell too many fibs. The Gnomes of Fibberton is a didactic story but also a funny one. A QR Code mid-way through the book connects to a recording of the song the gnomes sing. I did have some problems with the QR Code – I had to copy the link and paste it into a new browser for it to work.
The art created by Khan appears to be computer-generated. The pictures complement the text well.
The Gnomes of Fibberton is appropriate for the picture book section of a K-12 Christian (or any) school library.
I received a complimentary copy of The Gnomes of Fibberton. This is my honest review.
