Gnorman The Gnorwegian Gnome
Hope for the Gnew year
by
Jim Prock
Poor little Gnorman, the Gnorwegian Gnome has a problem. Living way up Gnorth at the base of Mount Gnewtontoppen in Svalbard, Gnorway, he’s always at the end of Santa’s route. Why, there’s hardly ever anything left for Gnorman! All he ever gets in his stocking are just a few little Gnicks and Gnacks. But Gnorman has a plan and he hopes this year, things will be different. In a hilarious, read-aloud adventure that charmingly showcases some of the geography and Christmas traditions of Norway, Gnorman, the Gnorwegian Gnome provides loads of magical, tongue-twisting fun. Its comic cadences and fanciful dialect are a pleasure that will carry through the Christmas season and long beyond.
As a kid growing up in Missouri, Jim Prock had a lot of fun speaking Pig Latin and that grew into a passion for tongue-twisters and mixing up letters in words. One morning, he woke up with an idea about a little Gnorwegian Gnome who ate Gnibbles and Gneeps and he shared it with his nine grandchildren. They thought it was so funny, he decided to turn it into a book. Gnorman, the Gnorwegian Gnome is set in chilly Svalbard, Norway. But it’s a lot hotter where Jim lives. He and his wife Sue now reside in Palm Desert, California after spending 40 years in the Los Angeles area on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. This is his first book.
