~ Board Book (25 x 18cm)
One of Canada's most renowned artist's Ted Harrison's passion and devotion for the North is evident in the bold images that bring the alphabet and the Arctic to life in A Northern Alphabet, an ABC classic for young readers that allows children everywhere to experience a magical place.
From 'A is for Anorak' and 'B is for Bear' to 'Q for Quilt' and 'Z for Zinc Mine,' A Northern Alphabet offers an early introduction to the letters by way of showcasing the colour and beauty of all aspects of Northern life: the landscapes, the people, the flora, fauna, and animals. Each letter is accompanied by simple text naming a few of the objects, animals and people depicted in each spectacular painting.
"By the time children outgrow this book, they will know much more about the world than the alphabet." -- Maclean's
