Description
Out-of-print treasure.
Most of us probably don’t give much thought to place names until we stumble across one that’s really unusual, funny, or surprising, but from the naming of the country right down to the naming of its tiniest town, there is a story to be told. Readers will learn about spots named for significant landmarks and historical events, for local legends and storybook characters, and for people you might think long forgotten. An amazing, multi-layered look at the people, culture, geography, wildlife, and history of our country emerges through these stories. Let’s Call It Canada will delight, educate, and inform young readers across the map with its fresh look at Canada’s rich heritage.
Reviews
Part of the Canadian Geographic Kids series, this book is sure to educate and entertain students in grades 4 – 6.
There’s lots here for kids to learn, and because the book was shaped by real questions from real children, they’re the sort of facts that are bound to be eaten up. (Calgary Herald)
Filled with incredible photos and lighthearted illustrations, making exploring Canada fun and inspiring by zeroing in on the information that’s most exciting.
