    My 4 year old son and I watch this video frequently before bed to help him calm down. It's seriously his favorite video. I bought him this book for Christmas on Amazon and was overjoyed to see that it is an older, used copy that looks just like yours. Anyhow, we were reading it tonight and he says to me, "Read it softly like she does." He was fast asleep in 5 minutes. ❤

    Adult humans need more whimsy and make believe in their lives. Somehow we lose the ability to just blow off tension and stress, which increases our susceptibility to illness. Having a physician as an author of this book means it is just what the doctor ordered.
    I am the daughter of a Navy officer. My books are my "home". My Haven from the world. I have had to move a lot, and leaving my books behind is crushing. That Gnomes book is your home.

    Oh my gosh this was MY favorite book as a child, I was obsessed with it. I had some garden gnomes and gnome toys as a result. 😂 I thought I was a strange child. The interior of the house, all warm and wooden really is nostalgic for me, I must have spent a lot of time on that page. 😍

    Your video is three years old now, but I have to say, I still to this day love the Gnomes book. My dad must have bought it when I was a baby. He still has it to this day. I have to make sure I get it before my brother does... ;) PS - of course I have gnomes hidden around my outside gardens because of the influence of the book on me.

They are so beautiful and fascinating.
