Description
Send out a good morning from coast to coast to coast!
As the pages turn on bright scenes and changing seasons across the country, rhyming text cheerily greets the sights and sounds of a Canadian morning.
From a pair of moose spied through an open tent flap at sunrise to a gaggle of Canada geese at a school bus stop, a morning game of shinny on an outdoor rink, and checking the sap buckets at a maple syrup farm, these inviting pages capture a familiar Canada that will delight young readers.
BONUS MATERIAL: this new paperback edition includes additional non-fiction content on each spread to provide information about the symbols illustrated.
