Another oldie, but goodie, from the bookshelf. Oh how we loved this!

We all have a purpose in this world and I love how worm discovers his in this lovely picture book.

An eloquent poem about the change we need to be, accompanied by stunning illustrations. A must have for home and school libraries.

Told in the first person, this lovely picture book is about a young girl who has always felt that she is boy. Before a summer holidays she reveals to her family that she feels that she is a boy and they respond by letting him know how loved he is. So do his grandparents. A wonderful story about acceptance and the love of family.

Perfect for young ones learning about this beautiful country we live in. Carson, the dog, shares his observations as he and Annie cross Canada from B.C. to Newfoundland.

Bob, the very lazy alligator, is annoyed that birds won't just fly into his mouth so he can eat them. He decides to make a bird restaurant on his nose to entice the birds, so he can eat them. Unfortunately his plans don't quite go his way.

I loved this book for so many reasons. First of all because it made me think of our very own Candy Cane Lane here in the city. Secondly, I loved the message. On this Candy Cane Lane, there is an unlit home at the end, which is the home of a young girl and her father who can’t afford fancy decor for their home. A couple of nights later there is a blizzard and the decorations on the street are blown around. Many are broken and tossed out, even the choirboy decor the little girl tries to save. These unwanted decorations end up at the dump and they decide to try to find the young girl again, being joined by other unloved decor along the way. My last reason for loving this book is the love and joy portrayed.

I must applaud this ingenious story that only uses 2 different words to tell the story of blended families. So clever and one many people can relate to.

A fun a silly play on the original Chicken Little story.
