Camping at the Lake

Publisher's description (Scholastic Canada, 2005): 
This book is particularly good for our Alberta children as it takes place on the Kootenay plains. Part of the Literacy Place series, it is an excellent tool for guided reading. Wonderful illustrations depict a close and important relationship in First Nations, Métis and Inuit culture: grandparent and grandchild. While the reading level is suited for Division 1, the concepts will be excellent for Grade 4.
