On November 21, 1912, the schooner Rouse Simmons set sail from a small northern Michigan town across Lake Michigan. Affectionately dubbed the "Christmas Tree Ship," this was an annual trek for the Rouse Simmons. With its cargo of Christmas trees, the ship was bound for Chicago. There Captain Herman Scheunemann would sell the trees for 50 cents or $1.00 and even gave many away to needy families. But the schooner never makes its destination. The Rouse Simmons, with all hands and cargo, disappears into the cold waters. The ship's wreckage is not found until 1971. Drawing from stories told by her grandfather, author Carol Crane weaves a fictional tale based on the true events of the doomed schooner. And she explains how the captain's widow went on to continue his tradition of delivering holiday trees to Chicago. Carol Crane's many books for Sleeping Bear Press include the best-selling P is for Pilgrim: A Thanksgiving Alphabet and The Handkerchief Quilt. As a literacy advocate, Carol speaks at schools and conferences. She lives in North Carolina. Chris Ellison has illustrated children's picture books and adult historical fiction for nearly 20 years. His book Let Them Play was a 2006 Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People. Chris lives in Mississippi.

Grandpa has really lost the plot this time... Lollipop has her first wobbly tooth: a wibbly-wobbly, bibbly-bobbly tooth that's coming loose. It wibbles and wobbles, but it just won't come out. Luckily, Grandpa has come up with several ingenious ideas for sorting out wobbly teeth. But when his plans involve a tug-of-war match, a grumpy woodpecker and a hoovering elephant, even Lollipop has to admit that Grandpa might have lost the plot this time... AUTHOR: Penelope Harper is a former radio presenter and school librarian. Lollipop and Grandpa are her first children's books, inspired by her relationship with her own grandfather. Cate James is an Edinburgh-based illustrator and printmaker. REVIEWS: "Wit is shared equally between illustrations and text here as young Lollipop is given a guided tour of her Grandpa's garden. Because the old man is a good sport innocuous objects like hose pipes or clothes lines are described by him as savage animals, each of which has the power to do terrible things to Lollipop unless she can tiptoe past them. This strategy works, but when the intrepid two finally return to the safety of indoors there is one more surprise to come. Cate James's cartoon figures signal from the first that this is all going to be good fun and Penelope Harper's text is a joy to read. Well done both!" -Carousel Magazine "I love this series for its evocation of the wonderful relationship that can exist between grandfather and grandchild. If you are a grandparent, get a copy and share it with your grandchild. When Lollipop finds her first wobbly tooth, mischievous Grandpa is full of good ideas to help get it out... a tug-o'war, a woodpacker and an elephant. What is Grandpa thinking of? Great fun and Cate James' illustrations depict the relationship beautifully." -Parents In Touch Colour illustrations
