Get ready for an out-of-the ordinary and creatively vivid experience! The Beasties are here and they've got a story to tell. Charles Chomps-EM is a six-legged, sophisticated reptilian sort of Beastie. Charles is well-traveled, well educated and enjoys the finer things in life. He, along with his cohorts and colleagues, the Things, the Shapes, the Quadmaropogus, and the Neebles (all sorts of Beasties!) reside in the Australian bush. Life is good for these creatures until the day Harry Hunter, a malicious, nasty hunter, shows up to capture, sell and/or turn them into handbags and shoes! The Beasties are accustomed to their good life and traveling far and wide-all over Australia, including trips to Follywood and all kinds of places in America. Harry has other plans for the creatures and is intent on disrupting their perfect world-no matter what. Can Harry be stopped? Will he change his evil ways or will the Beasties become extinct? John Raymond Nolan writes an immensely entertaining children's book that expertly captures the creative spirit of the young at heart. Incorporating crucial social messages about the environment with brilliant creative flair, The Beasties is a joyous read for ages 2 to 102. John Raymond Nolan is a writer, songwriter and musician. Mr. Nolan began his Beastie series in the early '90s to inspire children to seek out original and intellectual reading with a positive message. He lives with his family in Australia.
