Description

Ben’s family sugar bush is a busy place. Grampa’s tapping trees on the maple ridge; Dad’s boiling sap in the evaporator house; Gramma’s making maple butter in the camp interior; Mom’s wrapping maple cream in the kitchen; and his sisters are breaking up maple candy in the storage room. Ben’s hoping for a sweet treat, but everyone tells him he’ll have to wait. When the maple syrup is finally ready, no one can find Ben. Where could he possibly be? —A great read-aloud at maple syrup time —shortlisted for the Alice Kitts Memorial Award (Children’s Picturebooks)
