The tiny mouse is lonely and has just one friend ... the moon. Still, a conversation seems a bit one sided. What happens one night when he tries to get closer to his friend so they can talk? The Mouse and the Moon, by Gabriel Alborozo is a sweet story with nice illustrations.

Ted Harrison is a well known Canadian artist and in O Canada you will see why! This is a great introduction to the provinces and territories of the nation 'next door'.

 

Also from Ted Harrison comes A Northern Alphabet. This is more than an ABC book (it says so, right in the introduction!). Look carefully at each picture and find other things that start with the featured letter, then, make up a story using as many words that start with this letter as possible. So much fun!
