MacLeod, Elizabeth Canada: Year by Year, illustrated by
Sydney Smith. PICTURE BOOK. Kids Can Press, 2016. $21.95. Content: G
Each year of Canada’s history—from 1867 to 2017—is
highlighted in this illustrated history. Each year has a few paragraphs devoted
to a particular topic from Canadian history. In 1867 it’s the birth of the
nation, 1894 the Carnaval de Quebec and 2017 will be the 150th
birthday of the country. Every page has illustrations, and there is a large
section of “Great Canadians” at the back. Overall this is a nice book and it
was interesting to learn more about Canada. The writing is such that a young
reader could understand it, and the illustrations make it appealing and
approachable. That being said, this is more like an encyclopedia and I do not
know that many people would sit down and read it cover-to-cover. It might be a
nice reference to have in a school library for students doing light research
about Canada.
