Books with author Irene Schultz

Narrated through the voice of Lannie, a nickname for Landry, a five year old girl describes her excitement and wonder while visiting the Canadian Rockies with her family. Elks, chipmunks, mountain goats, grizzly bears- all are on Lannie's visit. She sings, dances, takes a float trip on Bow River Falls, tours Sulphur Mountain in a gondola, and rides a horse named Sweetie in the Banff National Park. She learns new French words , like croissant and chocolate mousse and uses Canadian loonies and toonies to buy a souvenir. She finds out about a town in the Maritime Province of Canada, called Cheticamp, a fishing village where her Acadian ancestors lived. Fun activities include: matching pictures of animals with their tracks, drawing lines from words to pictures and learning to make chocolate mousse.
