Thank you for the review copy of "Take the Big Picture" by James Reaney. What a wonderful addition to children's literature! I loved it. I especially loved it because I live in Antler River but I know I would love it just as much if I lived in BC or PEI. This book will work wonders for teachers who want to get kids to read, write, speak, listen and imagine. I can imagine the sequels which will appear as children try to write an ending to the story within a story. Please make certain that teachers hear about this book. They all need it badly! It's a great read aloud book for certain but also fun for quiet reading and imagining! My thanks to you for this wonderful book.'--Don Fleckser "London and Middlesex County Separate School Board "

Reseña del editor:

Was there ever such a family? Fired from his job at the University for letting all the mice free from their cages in the biology labs, Mr Delahay went home to find that his house was falling into the river. Moving into his mother's large, old house proved no solution. His equally large family -- two girls and four boys, three of them triplets -- were too mischievous and troublesome for his mother to stand. So she banished most of them to British Columbia where they had adventures with Sasquatches and a carwash owner named Buck whose life's dream it was to capture one of these Wild Men of the Woods. Returning to their home town in Ontario, the Delahays find that their having a home again depends on the oldest boy's skill at telling a story that will keep an eccentric old lady so interested she will let them stay with her yet one more night until she finds out how the story ends. Well, eventually, the story does have to end, but not before a great deal of hilarity and a great deal of wild adventures involving a motorbiker, a confidence woman masquerading as a baby sitter, and a leap through a Suicide Door. This is a different kind of story, filled with unexpected turns that even include a story within the story that you can try finishing yourself!
