SHOO!” Halifax-based illustrator-cartoonist Paul Hammond provides bright and bold illustrations and hand-lettered embellishments for a salty good read.Praise for Gary the Seagull“An easy read that would be enjoyable for most kids. There are some bigger words that could make it useful for grade school-age children who are practicing reading.
