My Review


This enchanting collection of poems, The 20 Little Poems for 20 Little Gnomes by Raven Howell, is sure to delight readers of all ages. Each poem unpacks a special moment in time. The playful rhymes and delicate illustrations bring each poem vividly to life, and young readers will be mesmerized by the magical world Raven had created.


Whether it’s a cat taking a nap in his mother’s boot, or a mouse enjoying reading books, each poem paints an adorable picture that children and adults alike can appreciate. With its delightful rhythm and rhyme and simple words, this book is perfect for reading aloud.

I love the format of this book, with each poem taking on a different topic, making this book perfect for parents and teachers to share with children when introducing poetry and creative writing (or any time!).
