Reviews

Bright crisp colors and vitality in the illustrations combined seamlessly with engaging easy-to-read rhyme are all highlights of this science-based creation by entertainment duo Bobs & LoLo The contents of Run Salmon Run are a good reason for it to be a valued addition in the primary curriculum areas of environmental studies, but it will make a fun gift book, too, perfect to read on a summer vacation by the sea. Highly Recommended.

"Run Salmon Run makes learning fun as we 'begin at the end' and follow this amazing journey down the river, out to sea and back again. This book beautifully illustrates the wonders of nature. Engaging, playful and absolutely delightful."
Kathy Beliveau, Author of The Yoga Game by the Sea and The Yoga Game in the Garden, listed in Best Books for Kids and Teens in Canada

I am impressed with the Run Salmon Run book. It is a fun, informative book and the illustrations are lovely. It is a strong educational tool for young readers and shows the life cycle of the salmon.

Author Bio

Lori Joy Smith (Illustrator) credits weekly trips to the local children's library with her father for sparking an early love for reading and children's books. As a teenager she lived in Italy and visited some of the most beautiful museums in Europe, which left her wanting nothing more than to make art. Now she puts these two loves together everyday, working as an artist and illustrator. Lori lives on PEI with her husband, 2 daughters and a growing menagerie of pets-3 cats, 2 bunnies, 1 dog and 2 sheep. She loves making art, walking in the forest, watching the stars, drinking coffee, growing flowers and most of all reading with her own girls.
