Overview
This charming 5-book paperback collection brings together Chris Judge's much-loved picture books in one great-value bundle. Perfect for little readers aged 3 to 5, the set combines gentle humour, big-hearted characters and bold, quirky illustrations.

About the Books
The Lonely Beast introduces the very first Beast, a rare and gentle creature whose search for others like him became an award-winning modern classic. In The Brave Beast, our hero returns to help an island community facing a mysterious monster, learning that things which seem frightening are not always as scary as they appear. The Snow Beast finds the villagers' Winter Festival threatened by a robbery, and Beast must decide whether to trust an unusual stranded stranger to help solve the mystery. Stepping away from the Beast world, The Great Explorer follows young Tom as he sets off across the icy, treacherous North Pole to find his missing explorer father, a thrilling test of courage and determination. Finally, TiN tells the funny, fast-paced tale of a boy who, along with his loyal dog Zinc, chases his baby sister Nickel across the city after she floats away holding a balloon. Together these five stories showcase Chris Judge's trademark blend of adventure, warmth and distinctive illustration style, offering variety while keeping to consistent picture-book length and reading level, so children can move between titles with ease and enjoy a satisfying sense of achievement as they complete the whole collection.
