What you need to know before your trail

There’s so many things people don’t know about Canada. It’s right beside America and shares one of the longest borders in the world but the northern neighbour can often be overlooked. the mouse in bed with the elephant for example.

What is the national anthem? Why is the flag red and white? What is the national animal? These are the straightforward questions but the best of this is that there are so many quirky ones that you might never have thought of, you’d be mad to miss out on discovering the real Canada.

Booktrailer Review

Susan: @thebooktrailer

This is just the fun book you would hope to read to find out more about a country. Lots of questions you might not have thought of before but once you know the answers you’ll wonder how you never thought to ask.

I bought books similar to this when living there as I love to get underneath the skin of a country and its different ways. Things I knew before going there and things learned when in a country are very different but this book manages to merge the weird and whacky, serious and otherwise without it feeling like a history lesson. Written in the form of questions is good too – links and flows well. Answers are educational without you feeling you’re sat in a classroom. All books make you wiser and richer and this one definately does!
