Kate Dicamillo Classic 6 Books Children Collection Paperback Gift Pack Box Set

Kate DiCamillo Classic 6 Books Children Collection is a paperback box set that gathers six children’s classics from Kate DiCamillo, a New York Times bestselling author and twice winner of the Newbery Medal. The selection moves between fairy-tale adventure, contemporary storytelling and moments of magic, with each story shaped around a distinctive character and an unfolding journey.

Within the set, a blue china rabbit begins as vain and self-absorbed before becoming a lost toy whose adventures unfold. Elsewhere, a fortune-teller’s tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, and a tiny, sickly mouse with unusually large ears takes his fate into his own hands. The collection also follows a summer day that ends with a dog from the local supermarket, a squirrel taken by surprise by a vacuum cleaner, and a boy in Florida trying to contain his grief and fears after his mother’s death.
