Fantastic Story

"Purchased for my toddler. . she loves it, and so do I!"

— Syd23 (5/5)

Une célébration tendre et sympathique de notre patrimoine touristique

"Annie, une dame âgée, et Carson, son chien, habitent à Tofino, sur la Côte Pacifique. Un bon matin, elle décide de partir en voiture avec Carson, rendre visite à sa sœur malade vivant à l’autre bout du Canada. Ce long voyage d’un océan à l’autre leur donne l’occasion d’apprécier les lieux propres à chacune des 12 provinces canadiennes. Une carte retrace leur trajet à la fin du récit. Joliment illustré à la gouache par Kass Reich, dans une mise en page de qualité, ce livre est une célébration de notre patrimoine touristique. Mon plus bel achat 2025."

— Denise P. (5/5)

Teach children about Canadian geography

"Great book, especially for teaching children about Canadian geography. Both of my grandchildren loved this book, especially for giving them a sense of how vast Canada is--east to west. Admittedly, it was not as effective south to north. Still a great way to engage young people into an appreciation of the grand size of Canada."

— David M. (4/5)
