Overview. Discover three of the most celebrated picture books from Caldecott Medal-winning author-illustrator Dan Santat, bundled together in one brilliant paperback set. From an imaginary friend searching for his child, to a car journey that bends time itself, and a broken egg learning to be brave, each story bursts with heart, humour and Santat's trademark inventive artwork. Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom story time, or as a thoughtful gift for young book lovers aged 3 to 7.. About the Books. This wonderful trio brings together three award-winning picture books that showcase Dan Santat at his imaginative best. In The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, winner of the Caldecott Medal, a lonely imaginary friend is born on a faraway island and sets off on an unimaginable journey to find the real child who is waiting for him — a touching story about friendship, belonging and the power of imagination.. Are We There Yet? takes readers on the classic long, boring car journey to Grandma's house, except this time the clock starts running backwards, whisking a bored young passenger through dinosaurs, ancient Egypt, medieval knights and swashbuckling pirates before the story cleverly turns itself upside down — literally — for its surprise ending.. After the Fall gives the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty a fresh, emotionally resonant twist. Having survived his famous tumble, Humpty is left afraid of heights, unable to climb his bed or reach the top shelf. But a chance encounter with a baby bird and his own love of watching birds soar gives him the courage to face his fear and fly again. Together, these three stories offer humour, warmth and gentle life lessons, all wrapped in Santat's vivid, expressive illustrations that reward re-reading again and again.. Three award-winning picture books by Caldecott Medal winner Dan Santat. Beautifully illustrated stories that spark imagination and empathy. Ideal read-aloud books for bedtime, classrooms and long car journeys. Brand new paperback set, perfect for gifting. Great value bundle for building a home picture book library.
