wishes he can buy something with his own money. Bring a toy or game for him to play while you are waiting. This is a great time for him to play a game on your smart phone or bring along his Game Boy. Or you can play a game with him. Try a round of “I Spy.” It’s a great place for a game like that because there are lots of shapes and colours to see. Mind you, if that will simply get him more focused on the candy, it’s not such a good idea. Or just have a conversation. Talk about what he’s going to do when he gets home or ask him about his favourite book, video game or TV program. If he’s focused on a conversation with you, he will be less likely to be distracted by what’s happening around him.
what foods you need to buy so you can cook that. While you are shopping, involve him in choosing which cereal (from your accepted list) or canned vegetable you’re going to purchase. Tell him what you will be preparing from the products you are buying. The chocolate chips will become cookies and not only can he eat a cookie when they are baked, he can help prepare them. Discuss what’s going to happen at the checkout. It’s useless to simply hope he doesn’t notice all the goodies. Let him know that you will not be purchasing anything from the shelves by the checkout. And stick to that. When he asks for just one little candy bar you can remind him that you talked about this before you left home and the answer is no.

bus on time. Rather than give up and return home (as I am sure some of us would have been tempted to do) she struggles to find a way to release her fear by singing. In a small but heroic manner she gets herself through “Wild Beast Valley” and endures the snow and howling winds from the north in the milelong trek. It is clear that she has achieved an important victory when she reaches the comfort and security of the bus. The end notes tell the reader that the author grew up on a Cecil Lake homestead in the Peace River area where “all the children are brave and tough and where she really did walk a mile to her school bus stop.” The illustrations are simple and totally effective, from the endpapers with their repeating print of winter trees against a snowy background to the simple drawings against white backgrounds. Sometimes the little girl is a tiny figure in a two-page spread and the reader can see the scope of the world she inhabits. Later, when she has achieved her goal, she is shown as a much larger figure dominating the centre of the illustration. This is truly a lovely little book and its theme of overcoming your fear is universal. I look forward to seeing more books from this very successful author-illustrator team. Other titles that have a similar theme or that depict the winter landscape effectively are as follows: ■ Mary of Mile 18 by Ann Blades; ■ Winter Eyes by Douglas Florian; ■ Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, illustrated by Susan Jeffers; ■ It’s Winter by Linda Glazer; ■ The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats; ■ First Snow by Kim Lewis; ■ Counting on Snow by Maxwell Newhouse; ■ The Cabin Key by Gloria Rand; ■ Belle’s Journey by Marilynn Reynolds, and ■ Brave Irene by William Steig.
