A Cabin Christmas
by Glynnis Hood (Author) and Ardis Cheng (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: With winter coming, Christmas excitement is building and there is an extra big smile on her face as a little girl’s “hellos” echo across the forest and the wetlands. Her furry friends are also preparing for winter and are very happy to listen as they chew the last of the fresh stems along the pond, while the bear searches for a cozy den for the winter. All is right with the world until an unexpected challenge for the girl and her family brings team forest (and wetland) together to make it the best Christmas ever!

Snippet: The girl and her parents went to town once more for food and supplies.

While they were away, a big storm blew in and lightning struck the cabin, burning it to the ground.

Everything You Know About Dinosaurs is Wrong!
by Dr. Nick Crumpton (Author) and Gavin Scott (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: Each time you turn the page in this 64-page book for middle grade readers, you’ll see a dinosaur “fact” that has been proved wrong with more research.

Snippet:
ALL DINOSAURS BECAME FOSSILS
WRONG!

Everything we know about dinosaurs comes from fossils, so we depend a lot on finding them. But there’s a problem . . . a bone becoming a fossil hardly EVER happens. It is an incredibly rare event and the chances of one single bone being fossilized is about one in a billion!
