Overview
It's always exciting to see Canadian references in any children's book. Here, New takes us all over the Canadian map: from Toronto to Vancouver, from Newfoundland to Alberta, from Moose Jaw to Halifax, and to many other locales in between--in the span of a mere thirty-two pages. Apart from the geographic references, we meet a veritable repertoire of stock Canadian symbols, like a Mountie and a fish named Antigonish who eats fiddleheads and lunches in Old Montreal (anywhere \"the meal won't be me,\" he says). There are references to everything from pemmican to a catamaran (in the fast-paced \"Mackerel Mockery Pickery Pike\") and, of course, the narwhal who \"ends up in Newfoundland/Instead of Baffin Bay\".
