The French Fry King
By Rogé
Tundra Books, c2012. 32 pages. Picture book.

Roger is a cute sausage dog with a lot of ambition. His mind is occupied with many questions about the world, such as, "If I had a human girlfriend, would we hold hands or paws?" His most pressing question is what to do with his life, which is not an easily-solved problem for a sausage dog. After much thought and observation, he decides to open a french fry food truck. This turns out to be Roger's million-dollar idea, as he soon experiences success around the world with his delectable fries. This fun picture book is very French, with its subtle humor and philosophical musings. Children will enjoy Roger's funny adventures and the objects hidden among the artwork, such as an Ipod or Rubik's cube.

Review: Alina in Her Roots

By
Alina in Her Roots Written by Shenaaz Nanji Illustrations by Beena Mistry Toronto, ON : Second Story Press, 2026. Intermediate. 91 pages. Alina is traveling by herself from her home in Canada to Nairobi, Kenya. But it's more than just a vacation to visit her favorite cousin Safi—Alina is on a secret mission to find her roots. Her family history started in India with her great-great-great-grandparents. Her parents were born in Kenya, then moved to Canada where she was born. She's heard stories about Kenya but wants to know where she fits in and to find what she is missing. Nairobi is a welcoming, vibrant, exciting place where so much feels so different. Alina writes journal entries to her Nani about her experiences, finding ways to make her own stories through matatu rides, trips to the market, a safari, and meals shared with new loved ones. This is a really well-written, cheerful and reassuring realistic fiction about the adventure of exploring different places and cultures.
