All the animals are awake and ready to explore the province of Ontario and the Great Lakes in this early concept alphabet book.
Make a splash in Muskoka, skate outdoors on Ottawa's Rideau canal, help turn sap into maple syrup, grab a grilled lunch with some sea gulls, and peek through the pines at a welcoming campsite in one of the province's many beautiful parks. Jocey's vibrant and whimsical illustrations showcase a selection of the regional diversity found throughout this province, and of the many birds and animals that call Ontario home.
Paperback alphabet adventure introduces Ontario through animals, landscapes, outdoor activities and familiar regional experiences around the Great Lakes.
Jocey Asnong's Ontario ABCs turns early letter learning into a playful trip across the province. Young readers can splash in Muskoka, skate on Ottawa's Rideau Canal, help turn sap into maple syrup, share a grilled lunch with seagulls and peer through pine trees at a campsite in one of Ontario's many parks.
Asnong's colourful illustrations connect alphabet recognition with wildlife, outdoor recreation and place. The Great Lakes, forests, cities and seasonal activities give children recognizable visual cues while also introducing some of the geographic and cultural variety found across Ontario. Each page offers adults opportunities to talk about letters, animals and places during shared reading.
This paperback edition is designed for preschoolers, beginning readers and family reading. It is well suited to early-learning collections, Ontario and Canadian geography, regional gift displays and classrooms looking for an alphabet book rooted in local landscapes and experiences.
