lcccbeloeil Posted December 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi everyone, I know this is a long shot. I saw a children's picture book in the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge gift shop. All I remember is that it had several colorful animal characters on the cover and that there were at least two different books with the same characters. I seem to remember that they were likely animals you'd find in Alaska but I might be wrong. I'm having no luck searching online bookstores. Did anyone here buy such a book or remember anything about them? The lodge is closed for the winter so I can't call. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5326jan Posted December 12, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2010 This may not be it, but it's a great book for a young child and does have the Alaskan sea life illustrated. It also a song by Raffi.

lcccbeloeil Posted December 12, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks janetjulie and 5326jan. Unfortunately, those are not the books. I saw those on Amazon but the books I'm looking for are more cartoony. I might have to wait until May and give the gift shop a call. If I remembered more about the books I'm sure I'd have no problem finding them on Amazon. I remember thinking they were cute and I should have bought one while I was there. I'm also regretting not buying a children's book I saw on the train from Whittier to Denali. I can't remember what that one was at all. I just remember that it struck me as an important book. I wasn't looking for Alaska kidlit in August, but I sure would like to have those books now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthelake Posted December 12, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Try the author Barbara Joosse. Not wildlife but Mama Do You Love Me was a favorite when DS was small. Her books are for sale in most shops in Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcccbeloeil Posted December 12, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Nice books, but those are not what I'm looking for. Thanks, onthelake. I'm making a list of the books I might have seen on the train and Mama, Do You Love Me? is on the list (even though some reviews for it say it's not a good book for kids).
