Canadian Book of the Road

This book did more to enrich and entertain my young children than any other book we had in our possession at the time. My first husband was a teacher - with long summer holidays - and we had a camper trailer which we took from coast to coast across Canada on two occasions. This book provided good maps, practical directions, guidelines and high points in each province along the way. It pointed out (with illustrations and detail) unusual flora and fauna that we would encounter, recommended good places to stop and hike for beautiful and/or historical views, and in general provided a running commentary on what we and our children were seeing during the trip. Both of our girls grew up loving nature, history and having a deep and intimate knowledge of Canada. Each day it gave us something unusual to do or look forward to that we would have otherwise missed. Highly recommended (although by now probably somewhat out of date... many of the subjects it covered, however, were timeless - nature and history don't really change that much, do they!)
