Canada is a large country that has so much to offer and we are going to see just a few of its wonders on these pages. We are going to count our way through its woods, and play with polar bears across its snowy tundra. Along its West Coast we are going to admire totem poles and in its mountains we are going to zip down its ski slopes. On its open plains we are going to helps farmers bring in the crops and on a big lake we are going to go canoeing. In the wintertime we are going to try a game of ice hockey and perhaps in the summer we will see what it is like to fish in the ocean.

This simple little counting picture book will give little children the opportunity to practice their counting and it will also give them a colorful tour of Canada from coast to coast. Amusing animal characters will accompany them on their tour and will help them with their counting exercises
