C is for Canada

A is for “Alberta” and “autumn”—B is for “beaver” and “butter tart”.

In an alphabetical list of all things quintessentially Canadian, Toronto-based visual artist Charles Pachter takes us on a jingoistic journey with words and images as our guide.

While tots sit learning their ABCs, adults will embrace this book for it’s bold graphics and fabulous patriotism.

Moose and Mounties made the cut, but what, no Ben Mulroney?
