Book Review: Colossal Canada: 100 Epic Facts and Feats 

By Elizabeth MacLeod and Frieda Wishinsky 

3 Stars 

This book is a very informative book and does a great job at feeding its information, at least it did with me. The name stays true; it really does have 100 facts, all being pretty unique and interesting, and it does an amazing job of giving some cool facts about Canada. The facts in this book have so much variety, like they’re all different. For instance, you’ll have some facts from the ’80s, then before that, and before that, etc. This book would serve greatly as a learning experience/tool for kids in schools. I know for sure it served greatly as a learning tool for me because now I know double the amount of things I did before. And I feel like kids would absolutely love this book and would learn a lot from it. You just hand them this book, and I feel like after a couple pages, they’ll be hooked due to the very interesting facts and the way they were put in the book. The layout is very easy to read, and kids would have little to no difficulty reading it, which makes this book very reliable and great for all age groups because it would serve as a great learning experience for both children and adults if they don’t have much knowledge on Canadian facts. Which I for sure didn’t before reading this book, and I can now confidently say, after reading his book, I have learned a lot of things about Canada as a country and just things that happen in the country.
