Crazy About Canada!: Amazing Things Kids Want to Know (Canadian Geographic Kids)

Why are beavers' teeth orange? Which school is closest to the North Pole? What is a slug's slime made of? Selecting from burning (and sometimes freezing) questions submitted by real Canadian children, Vivien Bowers created this entertaining treasure trove of Canadiana. Tackling questions about Canada's wildlife, geography, and cultures with humor and energy, Bowers presents the answers in an accessible format, with manageable amounts of text, incredible photos, and lighthearted illustrations that make exploring Canada fun. By zeroing in on the information most exciting to them and showing young people how to find more on their own, the book encourages readers to develop and research their own projects and interests.
