If It’s No Trouble… A Big Polar Bear

Written by Lisa Dalrymple
Illustrated by Lizz Pratt
Tuckamore Books, 2012

Natalie’s finished her Christmas list. It’s really quite perfect with one little twist. A remote control scooter, some candy to share and… if it’s no trouble… a big polar bear.

But a fun-loving bear as a pet? He’s very big and always hungry. And he scares the pants off the mail lady. How will Natalie ever convince the grown-ups that, despite all his shenanigans, a polar bear really is no trouble?

Skink on the Brink

Winner of The Writers’ Union of Canada’s Writing for Children Award, 2011

Written by Lisa Dalrymple
Illustrated by Suzanne Del Rizzo
Fitzhenry & Whiteside, 2013

“Stewie the Blue” is a skink on the brink of an identity crisis. His beautiful blue tail is turning grey. His head is getting redder by the day.  And, to make matters worse, he’s no longer inspired to make up little songs as he runs through the woods. He’s a lizard on a mission to figure out what it means to be Stewie the Skink.
