Bunny the Brave War Horse : Based on a True StoryWritten by Elizabeth MacLeod Illustrated by Marie Lafrance

With a name like Bunny, the long-eared horse doesn’t seem like an obvious choice to ship off to war. But through burning gas attacks, miserable weather and ever-present cross fire, Bunny proves himself invaluable, especially to the men who ride him. This is a heartwarming story of a World War I war horse who was as brave and strong as any soldier. Important historical context is provided in the end matter, and all historical details have been vetted for accuracy by expert reviewers.

ELIZABETH MACLEOD has written many children’s books, including Why Do Horses Have Manes? and Monster Fliers, as well as co-authored A History of Just About Everything. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.

MARIE LAFRANCE is an award-winning illustrator of many books for children, including A Hen for Izzy Pippik. She lives with her family in Montreal, Quebec.

Loula and the Sister RecipeWritten and illustrated by Anne Villeneuve

Fed up with her terrible triplet brothers, Loula decides it’s time her parents made her a sister. But they explain it isn’t that simple — it takes special “ingredients.” With Gilbert, the chauffeur, the plucky girl gathers everything she needs. Then she waits and waits, and nothing happens … until a hungry visitor arrives. Sweet with a generous dollop of humor, this is a satisfying story about not getting exactly what you want and perhaps enjoying it all the more.

ANNE VILLENEUVE’s illustrations have won her many honors, including the Governor General’s Award for Children’s Illustration, Canada’s most prestigious literary prize. She lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Stop, Thief!Written by Heather Tekavec Illustrated by Pierre Pratt

The farmer’s depending on Max to find the thief who’s been eating the carrots, berries, beans and cherries. So when the determined dog spies a bug chewing on a carrot leaf, the chase is on. But as Max follows the suspect, several farm friends offer to help … between bites of familiar-looking snacks. Will Max catch the thief before all the food is gone? Young readers will find it hard to resist helping Max in his dogged, but perhaps misguided, pursuit.

Pirates of the Silver CoastWritten and illustrated by Scott Chantler

At long last, Dessa knows the location of her missing twin brother: the Island of Astaroth. But getting there is another matter. No one has ever seen the Dark Island. Together with her friends, Topper and Fisk, she must navigate nasty surprises and pirate treachery in her desperate search for what’s left of her family.

The Three Thieves series follows Dessa, Topper and Fisk — circus performers on the lam after trying to rob the royal treasury. But the thieves are also on a quest of their own: they are searching for Dessa’s twin brother, abducted years earlier by the Queen’s chamberlain, Greyfalcon. Pirates of the Silver Coast is the sixth book in this fast-paced fantasy adventure graphic novel series that offers plenty of action, drama and slapstick comic relief.

SCOTT CHANTLER is the acclaimed cartoonist of the graphic novels Northwest Passage and Two Generals. He lives in Waterloo, Ontario.
