  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 02/15/2023 Mossy and Tweed are two gnomes living in an enchanted wood. These two friends don't always see eye to eye, but when a random coconut from the human world lands on top of Tweed, they agree to check it out. There's a photo of a scenic beach attached to the coconut, so they presume that's what the coconut contains, and they set out to open it. Mossy spots some instructions, but Tweed is determined to do things his way and carries on despite his friend's protests. With escalating comedy—a giant hammer, a slingshot, and dynamite—Tweed's over-the-top plans lead to them finally cracking open the coconut, but will they find their desired beach vacation inside? Hokkanen packs lots of silly, Looney Tunes–style slapstick into this slim early reader comic, and the bright, cartoonish art style is a perfect match for the comedy. The fantasy setting is charming and will appeal to kids moving between independent picture- and chapter-book reading. - Copyright 2023 Booklist. Loading...
