A collection of stories about a loveable dinosaur called 'Brack'. Children's enduring fascination with dinosaurs is enriched by the humorous adventures of a gentle plant-eating lead character. Beautifully and vividly illustrated by Anna Landmane. Very early one Saturday morning the Byron family answer the door to an unexpected visitor. From that moment their lives change forever. There before them is a ginormous Brachiosaurus. Mr and Mrs Byron's children Kaia and her twin brother Taio, persuade their parents to let their unusual guest live in their garden. Kaia names him 'Brack'. The antics of this totally wacky dinosaur immediately cause mayhem in their quiet village of Sheperdsfield. But Brack's kindness and bravery soon wins over their hearts. This collection of five stories comprise 'Who's That Knocking At The Door', 'Brack Gets The Shivers', 'Brack's Christmas', 'Brack's Watery Adventure' and 'Brack And The Force Within'. At the end of the book, Brack must leave earth. His beloved family are sad but in their hearts, they know that although adventures last a short time, feelings last forever. Brack's final words give them hope, "I'll be Brack". The stories are aimed at 7-9 year olds.
