Meet Christian Tompta...because everyone should have a gnome friend Based off the novel, "Gnomeling," this picture book tells a slightly different and shorter story geared at children 3-8 years old. Longer than a classic picture book at 40 pages, there is much information about the world in which Christian Tompta lives. Perfect for a younger sibling while the older is reading the novel. The "Gnomeling" Companion Coloring and Activity Book works well with both books.
