Sammy Squirrel & Rodney Raccoon: Far From Stanley Park

When best friends Sammy Squirrel and Rodney Raccoon decide to explore the worldbeyond their home of Stanley Park, Vancouver, an adventure is what they're after and itis certainly what they get. Swept out to sea, the woodland creatures embark on anunexpected journey to a mysterious new land, where they help resolve a crisis theynever expected to encounter. A Vancouver native, Duane Lawrence enjoys regular walks in beautiful Stanley Park. Itwas during one leisurely stroll that he decided to write about the animals that live there. He has previously written two chapter books for children in the primary grades; SammySquirrel & Rodney Raccoon: A Stanley Park Tale and Sammy Squirrel & Rodney Raccoon:To the Rescue. Often asked by younger readers if they could 'see the pictures in colour,' Lawrenceasked illustrator Gordon Clover for help and this simpler colour-picture book versionwas created for pre-school children who are just beginning to read.
