The first book we read was "Lucy Tries Luge" by Lisa Bowes. It's great to be able to read a book to the kids by a local Albertan!
The second book we read was "Just One Goal!" by Robert Munsch. What a fun book! There's even an appearance made by a moose!
The third book we read was "The Hockey Sweater" by Roch Carrier. This is a great book that shows Canadians' passion for hockey!
