Written by beloved CBC personality Bill Richardson and illustrated by Cynthia Nugent, The Aunts Come Marching is a wacky, clever and creative take on a popular campfire song, great for counting games, read-alongs, sing-alongs and all-round noise-making! When a marching band of aunts (yes, aunts - not ants!) arrive for a visit, they bring with them all their musical instruments - and a cacaphony of fun. The Aunts Come Marching was shortlisted for the 2008 Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award, recognizing artistic excellence in writing and illustration in Canadian children's literature.
