Book Review: It Seemed Like a Good Idea: Canadian Feats, Facts and Flubs 

By Ted Staunton & Will Staunton 

4 Stars 

I really loved this book. It was a very fun experience, and the book managed to keep me entertained from start to finish and kept it coming with new and refreshing topics. But most importantly, it did such an amazing job at sharing so many Canadian facts that really shaped the way Canada is, and how Canadian figures played a huge role in the way Canada is now and how we grew from where we used to be. It explores a variety of different topics and facts like food, fun facts, facts about animals, and many more. This book is great for all age groups as it can keep a kid or a teenager entertained while also having the layout simple for them, which makes it easy to read. For adults, I feel like the facts in this book are mostly good and refreshing. Most of the facts I didn’t know, and it was fun to learn something new, which makes this book very reliable because it’s suitable for anyone at any age group, which makes the book even more amazing to me personally. Lastly, this book was very engaging, informative, and fun. I feel like this would be a great book to just read over the weekend while you relax after work or maybe after school on a Friday or maybe even a book you read at school because it’s really getting your brain engaged, and you’re actually picking up the information through reading all these facts which may be useful to help teach you to memorize things in class better.
