Just saw that a new book about Canada is going to be released at Knowledge Quest. (I receive their e-mail offers)

I am super interested in this... I am not Canadian but my kids are! I have a lot to learn. ;)
Any other suggestions for Canadian history/natural history/other Canadian subjects?

This is very cool! We have vacationed in Canada for the last 4 years and love this beautiful, friendly country. I am happy to see a history resource become available, as our library tends to ignore Canada. (Don't know why...we import more oil from Canada than from any other country...!!!)

By no means an exhaustive list but HTH!

Mary! This is fantastic!
The best part is that - unlike the American history books I so long to read to my kids- our library has almost all of these!
Thank you so much.
