Lobster's Vacation by Michelle Robinson, illustrated by Paul G. Hammond

Lobster's out the back door! Lobster's on the run!
Lobster's on vacation. Wow! Too fun!

From bestselling children's author Michelle Robinson comes a quirky rhyming story about Lobster, who has escaped from the oceanand from the cooking potto enjoy everything a Nova Scotia summer has to offer. From ice cream cones on the South Shore to kite-flying on Citadel Hill and blueberry-picking and camping in the wilderness, Lobster's feeling like a true Bluenoser. That is, until he starts to feel homesick...

Featuring nostalgic illustrations from Halifax artist Paul G. Hammond, hearkening back to midcentury travel brochures, Lobster's Vacation is a visual delight as well as a fun read-aloud, with plenty of Nova Scotia sightseeing along the way. (From Nimbus Publishing Limited)
