Bruce County Counts 

words by Shelley Norman

pictures by Bobbi Switzer

A colouring book that lets young children count their way around Bruce
County from one ferry in the harbour at Tobermory to ten bagpipers
practising for a parade in Kincardine. They can find sheep, cattle,
snowmobiles, tractors, hikers, windmills, and kids fishing and building a
sand castle. Wiarton Willie is here too.

Grandma's Turkeys
 
by Sally Raspin

Life at Orchard Knoll Farm seemed too quiet until Grandpa Jim had a good idea. Grandma’s Turkeys tells the story of one spring and
summer when a small flock of turkeys turned Orchard Knoll into a real farm.

With colourful art that brings the story alive, Sally Raspin’s book takes young children along as the turkey chicks grow and explore.
Delightful for reading aloud.

The Phantom Piper 

by Barbara Aggerholm.
 
It’s David’s first night at his grandad’s in the small lakeside town where
he’s staying for the summer. . . 


He missed his own room, its walls covered with posters of the Toronto Maple
Leafs, his favourite hockey team. He missed the warm feeling he got when he
turned the lights off and gazed at the fluorescent stars on the ceiling.
When David finally tossed off the covers and closed his eyes, he drifted
into a strange dream. In the dream, he struggled to keep control of a small
boat while the lake rose around him. A huge wave swept over the boat. He
clung to the mast as another wave bore down on him. Just as it smashed
against the boat, he heard the faint sound of bagpipes. . .


With his new friend Emily, David finds real-life adventures on Lake Huron
and meets The Phantom Piper.
