I honestly prefer gnomes over dwarves.
In all the stories I've read or seen, there isn't ever a baby dwarf. Where do they come from if they didn't even have the chance to grow up? Even the 'younger ones' are older than the average old human. And they have to be wrinkled and bearded.
At least in 'The Secret Book of Gnomes', they have babies. Which were utterly cute! Also, dwarves are of the height where you'd actually kick them in the face without aiming where else gnomes are much tinier and stay mostly hidden. Even garden gnome statues are made of the height below our knees, and you'd actually need to aim if you want to kick their faces. The only thing that dwarves have going for them, is they tend to be portrayed for comical satisfaction. With all that rolling, tumbling, and general grumpiness.
