Diane Foote BOOKLIST, January 1, 2011, Jenkins's artwork has enthusiasm to spare, and he has great fun with the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" ending that has the tired chicks begging Mama to go to sleep and has Mama running wild herself: by painting her toenails and watching a TV romance. Young listeners will quickly learn and want to repeat the refrain, set off in large type and curving above chicks jumping on the bed, somersaulting through the air, and whacking each other with pillows: “Those chicks run wild!� Grown-ups will enjoy the final scene, where “Mama runs wild,�painting her toenails red, having a cup of tea, and watching Gone with the Wing. The chicks are fluffy and appealing Mama appears progressively more stern, as she looms larger in the doorway each time she must come back.

Praise for Gnomes Deluxe Collector's Edition: This revised collector's edition of Gnomes features a new introduction, eight removable prints in a back cover envelope, and an all-new signature of never-before-published gnome sketches by artist Rien Poortvliet on distinctive sketchbook paper. Thirty-five years later, this beautifully illustrated book continues to bring joy to readers of all ages. Based on Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen's scientific observation of the local gnome population in Holland, Gnomes covers all areas of gnome culture: architecture, education, courtship, medicine, industry, and relationships with other mythical creatures.

Set in an alternative UK the story revolves around one particular family as they embark on a period of enforced slavery. The Gilded Cage is an unusual and interesting story.
