But as he enjoys blueberry-picking and camping, a longing for home stirs. Will his adventurous spirit overcome homesickness, or will the call of the sea prove too strong? Join Lobster on a whimsical journey filled with fun, nostalgia, and the beauty of Nova Scotia, brought to life with charming illustrations.

From the publisher

Bestselling author of over 50 books, including The Thunk, She Rex, and How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, makes her Canadian debut with a hilarious tale of a lobster playing summer tourist in Nova Scotia. Lobster’s out the back door! Lobster’s on the run! Lobster’s on vacation. Wow! Too fun! From bestselling children’s author Michelle Robinson comes a quirky rhyming story about Lobster, who has escaped from the ocean–and from the cooking pot–to enjoy everything a Nova Scotia summer has to offer. From ice cream cones on the South Shore to kite-flying on Citadel Hill and blueberry-picking and camping in the wilderness, Lobster’s feeling like a true Bluenoser. That is, until he starts to feel homesick… Featuring nostalgic illustrations from Halifax artist Paul G. Hammond, hearkening back to midcentury travel brochures, Lobster’s Vacation is a visual delight as well as a fun read-aloud, with plenty of Nova Scotia sightseeing along the way.
