Canadian Wildlife Activity Book

Tom Hunter's outstanding artwork and clever brainteasers provide entertainment and instruction for children, parents and teachers. Canada is home to hundreds of species of amphibians, reptiles and insects, as well as over 1,200 different kinds of larger animals: birds, fish and mammals. Hunter provides an introduction to many of these species. Canadian Wildlife Activity Book: Volume One contains over 200 detailed illustrations, including the largest creature that has appeared on Earth: BC's blue whale, a mammal that weighs up to 120 tonnes. Canada is also home to North America's smallest mammal—the pygmy shrew, which weighs about the same as a soda cracker. The Canadian Library Association calls this "a splendid activity book . . .drawings are accurate and the animals look as if they could step off the page . . .invaluable on a family camping holiday."

In Mounties for Kids, acclaimed wildlife artist Tom Hunter turns his pen to creating fun activities for children about the history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Founded in 1873, the RCMP has gone through many changes, from a force that travelled by horse and dogsled to one that uses modern investigation techniques. The activities in these pages will introduce kids to different types of police work--from enforcing traffic laws to tracking suspects--and expand their appreciation of the RCMP's role in Canada's history. Tom Hunter's activity books have won wide praise from children, parents, and teachers for the quality of the artwork and their originality. Mounties for Kids is an engaging and educational resource for the whole family.

Tom Hunter now has five activity books in print. These creative activities, educational for children and adults alike, are ideal for use in all learning environments. His drawings introduce a broad range of species and give special emphasis to language arts and to creativity and observational skills. A time-proven concept, family activity books are designed to entertain children from ages 7 to 12, and they are a great teaching tool for teachers and parents. Hunter's books have been widely acclaimed since their introduction over a decade ago.
