Key Features:

This unique book describes what the author, Maxwell Newhouse, calls a "powerful horsey ballet: the RCMP Musical Ride, Canada's symbol and Canada's pride.

" What follows is the history of the Ride which was first performed in Saskatchewan in 1887. The idea of performing was simply an extension of drills and lance work that the RCMP did on horseback regularly. The reader learns about the horses who perform in the Ride, their training, about the riders who ride and care for them, the stars (which include Lucky II who became a national celebrity), and a description of what the Ride itself is like.

From baseball to fireworks, delis to a real live castle, the city of Toronto is full of surprises and delights. Artist Allan Moak explores the city he loves, recording the sights that appeal to children and to the child in him. In this lively book, children crawl through the Henry Moore sculpture in front of the art gallery, shop in the market neighborhood, take a ride on the island ferry, and paint murals at the zoo. Best of all, Moak encourages youngsters to appreciate the places they call home. The book consists of colourful detailed drawings of beloved places in a city: M is for market, P is for park, R is for rink. This mother/daughter duo travels to each location and takes a photo that captures the scene created by the author/illustrator, Allan Moak.
