Junior/Intermediate (Gr. 4-8) Canadian (3z...(BEach book focuses on a... province or territory through... 2- and 4-page spreads which feature topics such as... climate, natural resources, plants and animals, tourism, industry... First Nations, explorers... population, politics and government... arts and entertainment... A map of Canada with... basic information about each province and territory... is included. There is also a 'Brain Teasers' page with 8... questions, a glossary and an index... many colourful contemporary and historical captioned photographs throughout the books as well as 'get the facts' sidebars that accompany each chapter... books are well arranged with easy-to-read text... Words contained in the glossary are shown in bold text. However I did have... problems with... the content, especially in (this) book... the caption on p. 12... reads "the island of Cape Spear, on the east coast of Newfoundland, is as far east as it is possible to go... "--while the statement is true, Cape Spear is not an island! On p. 12 the caption states that Gros Morne National Park is located in the southern part of the island--it is actually... in the western part... On p. 37 the caption talks about 2 Innu communities... "Sheshatshiu and Utshimassits". Utshimassits was shut down as a community in 2002... on p. 39... text states that "... Gordon Pinsent is from Grand Falls, Labrador"--Grand Falls is in the centre of the island... not in Labrador... I wonder how many (mistakes) are in the other texts that natives of those... areas would pick up... books have a lot of good information... accessible... however I have... difficulty recommending them until the... mistakes... are corrected.(3y <(BU+2013> Resource Links, Apr/10.
