 Starred reviews from Horn Book Magazine and Publishers Weekly
In this hilarious chapter book mystery, meet a girl whose parents have been kidnapped by disreputable foxes, and a pair of detectives that also happen to be bunnies! Written by Mrs. Bunny, translated from the Rabbit by multi-award-winning author Polly Horvath, and beautifully illustrated by Sophie Blackall, Mr. and Mrs. Bunny -- Detectives Extraordinaire! is a book that kids will both laugh over and love.
 Ancient Thunder
by Leo Yerxa
Winner of the Governor General's Award for Children's IllustrationNow available in paperback
Using an extraordinary technique, Leo Yerxa, an artist of Ojibway ancestry, makes paper look like leather, so that his illustrations seem to be painted on leather shirts. Each shirt is accompanied by a rich song of praise for the wild horses that came to play such an important role in the lives of the First Peoples.
Years in the making, the book is truly a work of art -- one that reflects Yerxa's sense of nature and the place of native people within it.
