dinosaur writing for Saskatchewan
Business Week magazine.
Everyone else has applauded
Wieler’s ability to tastefully tackle
these difficult teen topics.

Parents, grandparents and others
with a young person in their fives
have a hard time choosing pictori-
al books for youngsters given the
number of such titles available. So
here are eight new kids’ books
chasen from the latest batch of
spring titles to help you with those
book buying blues.

Lion Dancer — Ernie Wah’'s
Chinese New Year (Scholastic; 31

Waters and Madeline Slovenz-Low

tells the true story of Ernie Wah, a
six-year-old boy about to periomm
in his first Chinese New Year's
parade as a lion dancer.

Full-color photographs by Mar-
tha Cooper and explanations
