Customer Reviews

Good book, but I needed to supplement

This book is a great overview of information about each province/territory of Canada. It has info in bite sized chunks, and nice illustrations. I will definitely be using it as a homeschool resource - a "Dip in and find out" type book. I was really wanting something a bit more compellingly written to read aloud to my kids, however, and have since bought "Kids Can Press Book of Canadian History" which covers all that this book is weaker on. I am still glad I bought the book.
