Tell Me a Story:
Finding Christmas
By Robert Munsch
Illustrated by Michael Martchenko
A very Munsch Christmas!
Every year Julie finds the Christmas presents her parents hid: in the basement,
under the bed, in the garage. But this year it’s Christmas Eve and she has found
nothing. NOTHING! She’s worried — will be there no presents at all?
Or will she find them in the most unexpected of places?
Inspired by Robert Munsch’s own daughter’s efforts to find her gifts every year, this
bestselling tale bursts with holiday warmth and all of the zaniness you can expect
from a Munsch story.
Tell Me a Story: Finding Christmas includes a paperback edition of the story along
with a CD read by Robert Munsch himself.
PRAISE FOR FINDING CHRISTMAS:
“This year Julie searches everywhere, but the presents are nowhere to be found.
She finally looks on the roof, with hilarious results . . . colourful and, as always,
humorous.” —Winnipeg Free Press
“[Finding Christmas] will be welcomed by fans of Canada’s popular and prolific
author/illustrator team.” —Montreal Gazette
FALL 2018
“Finding Christmas is yet another classic by beloved duo Robert Munsch and
Michael Martchenko. The story is a warm Christmas tale that is accessible to a
wide readership thanks to the humour and message about family love.”
—CM: Canadian Review of Materials

When the family arrives at their brand-new home, and the kids are unpacked — well,

This story was inspired by a family that Robert Munsch once stayed with in
Montreal, Quebec — which had five children and had moved to a new house only
days before! This funny tale is for all kids, especially those who have dealt with the
stress of a big move. And even more especially for those who have dreamt about
turning the tables on an older sibling’s pranks.

By Wallace Edwards
Sometimes you find friendship where you least expect it!
Ernest is flying his kite when it gets stuck in a tree. At the same moment, there’s
a flash in the sky, followed by a loud crash! He sets out on a difficult journey up a
mountain to find out what happened.
When he discovers a strange being has landed at the top,
Ernest hides in fear. But he soon realizes that this
creature needs his help.
As they find ways to understand each other, it becomes
clear that solving their problems together means they are
no longer strangers — they are friends!
Told in spare text and perfectly paced art in panels and full pages, this visually
rich story brings through themes that are both timely and timeless — to
challenge first impressions, to find strength in differences, and to understand
important needs we all share.

Fox and Squirrel both have something to offer when they need
to care for a little one.
When a baby bat drops from the sky, Fox is immediately taken with the soft, sweet
creature and rushes to take care of it. Squirrel is less sure this is a welcome intrusion.
The new squeaky stranger can’t keep up with all their favourite activities and doesn’t
seem to realize how fun Squirrel can be. Can Fox and Squirrel come together to
figure out what Squeak needs?
In this new installment in the Fox and Squirrel series, award-winning author Ruth
Ohi delivers a heartwarming tale with an affirming message for anyone who has felt
frustrated accommodating someone with different needs, and a lovely reminder
about the good feeling that comes with helping out.

Don’t Call Me Bear!
By Aaron Blabey
Warren the Koala is many things — but the one thing
he is NOT is a bear!
Hello my name is Warren, and I’ve got something to share . . . Just because I’m furry
doesn’t mean that I’m a bear.
In this hilarious new book from Aaron Blabey, author of Thelma the Unicorn
and The Bad Guys series, a koala captures the universal
frustration of how it can feel to be misunderstood.
Warren offers up compelling arguments for
why he is NOT a bear. With visual aids and an
agitated tone, he does his best to explain the
error in some careless explorer’s judgment
years ago and how that shouldn’t affect the
truth of the matter: koalas are NOT bears!
Much to the chagrin of this marsupial, public
opinion does not appear to have been swayed.

All Bear wants is to hibernate in his cozy cave, but sneaky Fox has his
own plans for the space!
“A great big bear like you,” said Fox, “so big and strong and brave, a creature so
magnificent . . . deserves a bigger cave.”
A very sneaky Fox and a very sleepy Bear set off to explore other places for Bear to
call home. The train tunnel is too loud, even if the double doors are nice. The hollow
tree’s high ceilings are great, but the bats are not. The oceanfront option has great
views — great, but damp.

Hungry Bird
By Jeremy Tankard
Do YOU ever get “hangry”?
Bird is hiking with his friends when his tummy rumbles. But no one packed him a
snack that he likes! With every step, his hunger mounts until he collapses on the
ground. How will Bird survive if he doesn’t eat the perfect something this instant?
The hilarious, blue-feathered diva who first starred in Jeremy Tankard’s high-flying
debut, Grumpy Bird, returns in another laugh-out-loud melodrama. For every child
who has ever needed a snack right now, and for every parent who has had to cope
with a ”hangry,” fussy child, Hungry Bird is sure to satisfy.
ALSO AVAILABLE:
PRAISE FOR HUNGRY BIRD:
“Fans of the other Bird books (Boo Hoo Bird, Grumpy Bird) will delight
in this latest addition to the series, which contains all the Tankard
hallmarks readers look forward to: visually stimulating graphics, endearing
characters, and expert comic timing.”
–Quill and Quire
“Picky eaters would do well to learn from Bird’s friendship-testing
dramatics and remember to pack their own snack.”

Daniel barely remembers leading a normal life before the Nazis came to power
in 1933. He can still picture once being happy and safe, but memories of those
days are fading as he and his family face the dangers threatening Jews in Hitler’s
Germany in the late 1930’s. No longer able to practice their religion, vote, own
property, or even work, Daniel’s family is forced from their home in Frankfurt and
sent on a long and dangerous journey, first to the Lodz ghetto in Poland, and then
to Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp.
Though many around him lose hope in the face of such terror, Daniel, supported by
his courageous family, struggles for survival. He finds hope, life and even love in the
midst of despair.
This edition includes a chronology, a timeline, and a brand-new message
from the author.
