The Lake in the Middle of Town Sawatzky, Neil
Regina, Saskatchewan Your Nickel's Worth Publishing 2004 1894431030 / 9781894431033 First Edition Soft Cover New No Jacket Salazar, Julio
Fine in softcover. 21 by 31 cm. 36 pages. Gift quality book. New book. 'A colourful, educational children's story about Wascana Lake, this book describes the vibrant history and events that make the lake in the middle of Regina a favourite gathering place for the community. The vision of its first settlers has given Regina a lasting legacy - a sparkling gem in the Queen City's crown where families gather to enjoy outdoor activities. The 36-page, full-colour book featuring 16 original double-page illustrations, brings to life the colourful story of Wascana Lake in reader-friendly rhyming couplets. The exuberant cadence of the rhyme is reflected and reinforced by the artist's lively and approachable illustrations of the historic events and landscape surrounding Wascana Lake. The book's artwork brings the reader full circle in several thematic ways: from sunrise to twilight, through the seasons of the year, and around different vantage points of the lake itself. Of interest to parents and teachers, The Lake in the Middle of Town also incorporates descriptive sidebars which highlight historical and culturally significant information regarding the sometimes little-known aspects of Wascana Lake and its many attractions. It is amazing to comprehend the foresight of Regina's first settlers in creating Wascana Lake. The evolution from the little creek in the middle of nowhere to the jewel-like lake in the middle of a capital city is a compelling story - a story that demonstrates the spirit and determination of a community whose vision and cooperative efforts have given us a very special place.' Illustrated cover. Staple binding. Bright, clean.
