About the Books
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler have created some of the most recognizable characters in modern children's publishing, and this board book set gathers four of their most cherished stories in a format built for the youngest readers. The Gruffalo follows a clever mouse who invents a terrifying monster to outwit a fox, an owl, and a snake, only to meet the real thing deep in the wood. Its sequel, The Gruffalo's Child, sends the Gruffalo's curious daughter into the snow in search of the legendary big bad mouse. Room on the Broom follows a kind witch who welcomes a growing crowd of animal friends onto her broomstick, until it snaps and a hungry dragon appears. Charlie Cook's Favourite Book takes readers on a playful journey through a book within a book. Together, these stories showcase Donaldson's rhyming verse and Scheffler's warm illustrations, presented as sturdy board books built for sticky fingers and years of bedtime routines.
