Book Spotlight ~ Hey Canada! by by Vivien Bowers #HeyCanada

My Thoughts ~
Back in the spring I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful book Hey Canada! by Vivien Bowers The book is basically a blog in book form written by Cal and Alice, cousins, about their adventures around Canada with their grandmother. The book is a colourful reference book that will be utilized by my daughter in our homeschooling adventures. 

The bright illustrations and photos held the interest of both my 8 year old and some of the 3 and 6 year olds that are in my care from time to time. I love the find it feature that gran gives the kids for every province. Always great to give kids something to look for to see how observant they are. I use this tool often with our own children.

We are also following Cal on twitter and I more than love the interactive aspect of this book and so does my daughter. She thinks the tweets are so neat. You can follow Cal on twitter here!
