| Publisher Description: Vancouver, BC, Canada is the largest city in Canada and is a true melting pot of people who have brought with them to this city art, music, traditional ethnic foods and more. The people are very kind and engaging and you never know what you will find, even on a very simple walk. You can go from the main part of Vancouver by boat to North Vancouver where you will find a large European style shopping area where you can get everything you need under one roof. You can also see the stadium where parts of the 2010 Winter Olympics were held. Vancouver has been ranked one of the most livable cities in the world for more than a decade, and as of 2010, Vancouver has been ranked as the fourth highest quality of living of any city on Earth. The climate is temperate, and while there is some snowfall, the snow within the city is said to melt very quickly, even though you can very clearly see the snow-capped mountains in spring. Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, and full of photographs by John D. Weigand, you can use this book as a learn to read book and shout out the words you think are coming next as you compare pictures and words and learn through word repetition, word recognition and rhyme. Also look for the music video that goes along with this book on the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel. |
