Review
Crazy Canadian Trivia presents hundreds of fun and interesting trivia
facts. Written in an upbeat tone and featuring zany chapter titles, the
book recounts many of the stories behind the trivia facts.
How great was The Great One, Wayne Gretzky? Where was the world’s
largest ice cream sundae created? Is Alberta rat-free? Why did the McKay
family call their farm the Bloomin’ Idiot Funny Farm?
Although there is no order to the information, the book proves to be a
page-turner for those wanting to know the strangest, the biggest, the
best, and the unbelievable.
Cartoon-like illustrations and authentic black-and-white photographs
add to the excitement. Recommended.
