Canadian Rockies ABC
Max Elliott
A is
for alpine adventure!
In
this sturdy, hardcover alphabet book, local artist Max Elliott illustrates
mountain landscapes, wildlife, and activities using colourful painting and
collage. Her original artwork combined with simple phrases creates a
unique opportunity for endless fun while learning
the
alphabet.
In
between being captivated by the illustrations, children will learn that B
stands Bear and H is for Hiking.
At
the back of the book, local children talk about their favourite things to
do and places to see throughout the Canadian Rockies.
