Book Description

The true story of how one special dog beat the odds -- as seen on hit social media site The Dodo! When Nubby the boxer was born, there was something different about him. That's because Nubby was born without his two front legs. He was so small and so sick. The humans who rescued him weren't sure he would make it. But after a little while, Nubby started to get better. Soon, Nubby was well enough to try to walk. But without his front legs, Nubby had to scoot or hop from place to place. Nubby's family knew this one-of-a-kind pup would need a little extra help getting around. This inspiring true story teaches us that with a little love, some creativity, and a lot of hard work, special dogs like Nubby can overcome any obstacle!

Book Description

Think Canadians are the logical, rational bunch? The kind who don't overreact? Well, open this book and find out just how weird and wacky some of our laws have been -- and remember, it's kooky enough that the laws were created, but stranger still to think that certain behaviour actually led to their creation! Here are just a few: An old BC law supposedly made it illegal to kill a sasquatch. You can be imprisoned for challenging someone to a duel, or even accepting the challenge. You can get two years in prison for pretending to practise witchcraft (there was a case as recently as 1984!). There is a two-year penalty for offending a public place with a bad smell. In Fredericton, NB, it is against the law to wear a snake. Canada has its share of "Rip Van Winkle" statutes that are still on the books. You Can't Do That in Canada! highlights the wackiest, with thirty-five accompanying cartoons. A section at the end includes a quiz about really strange laws, and kids guess which three are the fakes. The rest, bizarre as they seem, are -- or were -- really on the books.
