From bestselling children's author Michelle Robinson comes a quirky rhyming story about Lobster, who has escaped from the ocean?and from the cooking pot! - to enjoy everything a Nova Scotia summer has to offer. From ice cream cones on the South Shore to kite-flying on Citadel Hill and blueberry-picking and camping in the wilderness, Lobster's feeling like a true Bluenoser. That is, until he starts to feel homesick... Featuring nostalgic illustrations from Halifax artist Paul G. Hammond, hearkening back to midcentury travel brochures, Lobster's Vacation is a visual delight as well as a fun read-aloud, with plenty of Nova Scotia sightseeing along the way.

Calling all kittens! A little girl longing for a pet of her own gets a bit more than she bargained for in this cat-filled celebration. A small girl wants a cat of her very own: a furry fluffball to cuddle, just like the one in her book or her grandmother’s cat, Hector. So she lays a trail: balls of wool, saucers of milk, cardboard boxes, and anything else that could lure a feline friend. And who should arrive the next morning but somebody furry, warm, soft, and so very purry. It’s Hector, along with dozens of other cats. The girl is happy as can be, but when “LOST CAT” posters show up all over town, she realizes her plan might have worked a little too well. Will she have to give all the cats back? Will she ever get a cat of her own to love? Sweet and playful, Michelle Robinson’s tale of wish fulfillment will strike a chord with anyone who has ever yearned for a pet, while Chinlun Lee’s exuberantly illustrated felines will delight cat lovers of all ages.
All aboard! Anchors up! The passengers are waiting, and there's a busy day ahead. Trains and boats and planes, which one would you ride?
