Altoona Up North

Altoona Baboona's auntie is lonely in North Saskatoona. So Altoona and her friends board their trusty balloon and fly up for a visit. The North is cold and snowy, and poor Auntie yearns for someplace warm. As the foursome trek, ski, ice fish, sled-dog, and float, do they notice the change in climate? Children will love 'getting' the joke on Altoona, long before she figures it out herself. Bynum's playful illustrations, done in friendly watercolors, pulls readers into Altoona's whimsical world. Lots of fun wordplay, and a text that is just the right length for younger children, complete the perfect package of a picturebook!
