A Crow Called Canuck: a children's activity book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780888391063)

He's been called "Vancouver's famous crow", "a sought-after film star", and "East Vancouver's bad boy bird". It s Canuck! The orphan crow who rose to fame with countless news stories about his adventures, a documentary film under his belt and a Facebook page with over 100,000 followers. Now he's the subject of a kids colouring and activity book. East Vancouver resident and Canuck fan Arran Yarmie teamed up with his nine-year-old daughter to create A Crow called Canuck. This book documents Canuck's life from a fledgling chick to his well-known adventures and misadventures as an adult. Riding a SkyTrain and helping himself to customers meals in a fast food restaurant are a few of Canuck's exploits documented. But life for this celebrity crow has not always been glamorous. A run-in with a pole-wielding, human-induced injury almost cost him his life. Other confrontations with a postal carrier ruffled many feathers but were eventually smoothed out. Canuck also explains some of the plights and dangers that urban wildlife face with an underlying conservation message.

With 24 story and colouring pages and 12 activity pages, A Crow Called Canuck will not only entertain but educate children about the importance of peacefully coexisting with urban wildlife. Hancock House Publishers and the authors of this book are dedicated to this mission and proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the Hancock Wildlife Foundation.
