Yucky cabbage pie! Mean Mrs Miskin! Stupid spelling test!

Oh dear, Dimple the Gnome is having a very bad day and he just can't find the right words to tell anyone how he's feeling. Then Dimple finds the Boo, who lets everyone know what's going on. But the Boo’s rude words and naughty noises just get Dimple into trouble. Can Dimple find another way to express himself?

Reviews

"A wonderful story and a great start to chapter book reading… [and] learning to talk openly about your feelings." – Emma Suffield, Librarian

"Dimple is a very sympathetic character and youngsters will completely understand why the Boo takes up residence in his pocket… With colour illustrations by Paula Bowles throughout, this is perfect for children moving from picture books to longer stories" – LoveReading4Kids
