Have you ever wondered how gnomes really live? This funny, beautifully illustrated picture book will teach you all about it.

There’s a new threat in town—and it’s only twelve inches tall. How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack is the only comprehensive survival guide that will help you prevent, prepare for, and ward off an imminent home invasion by the common garden gnome. Once thought of as harmless yard decorations, evidence is mounting that these smiling lawn statues are poised and ready to wreck havoc. The danger is real. And it’s here. Class 1 gnome-slayer and gnome defense expert Chuck Sambuchino has developed a proven system—Assess, Protect, Defend, Apply—for safeguarding property, possessions, and loved ones. Strategies include step-by-step instructions for gnome-proofing the average dwelling, recognizing and interpreting the signs of a gathering hoard, and—in the event that a secured perimeter is breached—confronting and combating the attackers at close range.

Join the Moomin world and color in your favorite characters, from Moomintroll and Moominpappa to The Groke and Mr. Fillyjonk, in this delightful coloring book based on the famous children's book series.

It's winter in Moominvalley and the Moomin family are deep in their Long Winter Sleep, waiting for the sound of Too-Ticky's barrel organ to rouse them, as it did every spring. But when a mysterious ratta-tattle wakes Moomintroll with a start, will he be brave enough to investigate the noise on his own? And what surprises will he find if he does venture outside?

The Moomin Family are relaxing on holiday with the exception of Moomin. Every night he is being visited by a little ghost and Moomin is getting more and more scared. His friends and family don’t know what to do to help him. Then one night, Moomin’s beloved friend, Snorkmaiden, goes missing and Moomin bravely sets off to find her. This delightful story is a gently affirming read, perfect for Halloween and snuggling up at bedtime!

It had been raining for days in Moominvalley, but now the clouds had cleared and it was a fine day for an adventure. Moomintroll was excited - he and Snorkmaiden and Little My, Moominpappa and Moominmamma, were all going to sail to Lonely Island to look for treasure! But by the time everyone was ready to leave, the sun had set and night had fallen. Would they ever be able to find any treasure just by the light of the moon?

Tonight everyone in Moominvalley will be going to the Autumn Ball and Moomintroll and Sniff are busy helping with preparations. But when they discover an extraordinary golden leaf on the forest floor, will they be able to find a tree full of golden leaves and give each of the valley folk a gift they'll always treasure?

When Moomintroll finds a beautiful shiny pebble, Snorkmaiden thinks it might be a star - and if it is a star, then Moomin can make a wish! But wishes are difficult things to get right, and while Moomin worries about what his wish will be, the star's shine begins to fade.

The Moomin family is almost ready for their Long Winter Sleep. As the soft flakes of snow start to fall, an invitation to the Ice Festival arrives. Snorkmaiden and Little My sneak out to see it, and Moominpappa and Mooomin go too, thinking they need to rescue them. They discover that winter is not to be feared, and they have a great time at the festival, with music and skating. Next year they will take Moominmama. Now it's time for their winter sleep.
