Review
Illustrator Per-Henrik Gurth keeps it simple, with bright colors and strong outlines around minimally defined objects in paintings of the Calgary Stampede, dogsleds, hockey, the Yukon - “where the Northern Lights glow,” and last, a splendiferous Zamboni.Globe & Mail (Globe & Mail )

Awesome book for young children
I found this book to teach my boys (ages 3 and almost 5) about their parents' home country - Canada. It is great on so many levels. It teaches geography, symbols, animals and so many other aspects of Canada. It even mentions the Calgary Stampede which is in my hometown.

A Great Find for Young Readers
This book is a great book for youngsters. While its immediate impact would be on early readers due to its effectiveness in reinforcing the alphabet and helping them learn about Canada in a simplistic format, I think upper elementary and even some lower junior high readers can appreciate its sentiments. Even adults who enjoy a good picture book can enjoy this read. A great gift for up and coming readers! Looking for something similar with a little more depth and a higher reading level for older readers- try M is for Maple by Mike Ulmer.

Great Introductory Reader for Canadian Kids
My two year old daughter loved this book when I brought it home, and it has remained a favourite over the last 8 months. The illustrations are great, the choices of words contain a good mix of things and places (all very Canadian) - I recommend it highly!
