Lobster's Vacation

About this book

Bestselling author of over 50 books, including The Thunk, She Rex, and How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, makes her Canadian debut with a hilarious tale of a lobster playing summer tourist in Nova Scotia. 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 ocean--and from the cooking pot--to 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.
