Christmas is sneaking up on us. If you’re like me, you’ve got a few gifts to pick up this week for a few family and friends on your list.
Books are one thing I always love giving around the holidays. I give books to my children’s teachers, to my in-laws and even put some in my husband’s stocking.
This year, a few people on my list will be getting a hilarious parody travel guide called This is That: Travel Guide to Canada by comedians Pat Kelly, Peter Oldring and Chris Kelly.
You may already know the authors behind this book and have listened to their radio show – This is That on CBC Radio. Let me tell you, this book does not disappoint. It’s laugh-out-loud funny.
The funniest parts of the book include:
- The testimonials throughout the book
- The travel tips and random facts (sometimes helpful, sometimes comical)
- The funny, random photos
- The translations, social norms and section on shopping in Canada (seriously, it’s so funny)
This book is a quick read, is charming and fun. I highly recommend picking it up for someone on your list.
This is That: Travel Guide to Canada is now available at Amazon, Chapters/Indigo, and quality book retailers. It retails for $19.99.
