AlbakiReads Editorial

A goblin’s case against dragons

Gilbert the Goblin has a firm list of complaints: dragons burn things, hoard gold, melt nearby ice cream, and frighten everyone. His certainty that dragons are the worst—and that his own goblin power makes him the one to fear—sets up the book’s humorous clash between boastful confidence and an intimidating subject. The picture-book premise keeps the conflict focused on Gilbert’s claims about dragons and the question mark hanging over his confidence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books.
  • Young readers interested in goblins, dragons, and comic creature rivalries.
  • Families looking for a read-aloud built around a character’s exaggerated complaints.

Book overview

Mo Willems meets Bob Shea in this uproariously funny picture book about Gilbert the Goblin from the creator of Unicorns Are the Worst!.

Gilbert the Goblin is absolutely, definitely, one-hundred-percent certain that dragons are the worst.

They burn down everything in sight and they hoard all the gold. They melt every ice cream cone within a mile radius, and everyone is afraid of them. But really, it's the dragons who should be afraid of Gilbert and his tremendous goblin power!
