A Halifax ABC.

This wonderful board book edition will thrill toddlers and preschoolers with words such as bridge (B), explosion (E), ferry (F), lobster (L) Ocean (O), Tugboat (T) and more. From A–Z, this fun book exposes children to Halifax in a way which celebrates the city and allows children a look at just the right educational level for them. Neighbourhood (N) looks like a street in any town, children riding bicycles and skateboarding, a dog running with owner. Many ABC books published ask too much of the child, for example, “R is for RCMP.” Poplawska’s bright, bold paintings express the beauty and playfulness of the city. A Halifax ABC board book is a great read for all ages. It’s large format allows the reader to experience the images and the city.
