Canada All Year

the long version

This charming picture book follows a group of happy animal travelers as they spend a year exploring the True North. Each month gets its own colourful spread highlighting a different Canadian festival, seasonal event or activity. The trip begins in January with a visit to Ottawa's Rideau Canal and ends in December with a dogsled ride in Nunavut. Along the way, the group partakes in such Canadian delights as the Quebec Winter Carnival, the Canadian Tulip Festival and the Calgary Stampede. The bold, bright art and simple text give pre-readers an introduction to the alphabet, numbers and colour -- and to their beautiful country.
