A tiny little story, that was interesting to read. I wish I could have seen the Canada described, the one before the building booms, without the ugly generic buildings that seem so dull. The story made me smile and its defiantly a cute little read. ( )

A nice bedside book. Vignettes about many somewhat uniquely Canadian things, all beautifully illustrated. ( )

I enjoyed reading this book in Canada's 150th year as a country. Jane Urquhart has taken 50 objects and written very short articles about Canada surrounding each one. What I like is the way Ms. Urquhart has used the objects to tell the story of Canada...not of the object itself, but of what it symbolizes of our history, our people, our country. Lovely illustrations of each object by Scott McKowen make this book a keeper. ( )
