Review Quotes: Packed full of information about some of Canada's best nature spots. The photos are stunning, and the information is complete and well-organized. Sidebars help to plan a possible vacation, noting seasonal opening times, camping areas, beaches facilities etc. One of the best features for families is the historical/cultural information in each chapter - kids will learn a lot about Canada, just by leafing through it. This book is perfect for anyone thinking of doing a cross-country road-trip. It would be a great inspirational gift for family or friends who are thinking of visiting Canada from overseas, and would also make a perfect "coffee table" book for your Air BnB.--Helen Earley "Family Fun Canada Blog" (5/28/2021 12:00:00 AM)
