Description

The Home Sweet Home Nova Scotia Collection introduces children to where they live or visit. With enchanting illustrations and a gentle writing style, this three-book box collection takes young readers on a fun-filled tour of the province, encouraging education and discovery. This beautiful box comes with a colourful, retractable toy handle for young readers to grasp while on their adventures. It includes titles such as Home Sweet Home Nova Scotia, Counting with Nova Scotia, and A Nova Scotia Alphabet. From Citadel Hill in Halifax and the Fortress of Louisbourg to Peggy's Cove and historic Lunenburg, watch as your child sees iconic sites and scenes, plants and animals, characters and landmarks, perhaps for the very first time. Using provincial-style ABCs, 1-2-3s, and cultural, historical and geographical learning, The Home Sweet Home Nova Scotia Collection affirms why Bluenose Country is such a wonderful place to call "Home Sweet Home!"
