Goodreads Synopsis:

Pack your bags for a hilarious Canadian adventure!

This Little Piggy Came to Canada is a laugh-out-loud twist on the classic nursery rhyme from Mother Moose and Taffy Tales. Follow a gang of adventurous piggies as they explore Canada―shopping at a Nova Scotia fish market, sunbathing with lobsters in New Brunswick, whale-watching in Newfoundland, cheering at the Calgary Stampede, and even dabbling in Toronto’s stock market!

With clever rhymes, bright illustrations, and funny Canadian references on every page, this board book is a sweet, silly celebration of Canada’s provinces and territories that kids and grown-ups will love.

Perfect

Review:

I loved this book about the little piggies who travel throughout Canada! They make a stop in every province and territory. They each see famous landmarks and locations such as Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia, the Calgary Stampede in Alberta, and the CNE in Toronto, Ontario. There were cute references to the traditional “This Little Piggy” and “Three Little Pigs” nursery rhymes. I really enjoyed this board book!

Thank you Taffy Tales for providing a copy of this book as part of a sponsored campaign!

Thanks for reading!
