Harrison, T. (1993). O Canada. New York, NY: Ticknor & Fields.
Author:
Ted Harrison
Illustrator:
Ted Harrison
Summary:
Each of the Canadian territories are introduced with a personal reflection, some facts and a full color painting. Rather than just presenting cold and sterile information, readers will be able to see why Ted Harrison loves his adopted country. This is a great book to use to introduce children the geography of Canada. The National Anthem, O Canada, with music and lyrics is printed in the back in both English and French.
Response and Reaction:
This story is a beautiful way to learn about Canada. It is very clear the Ted Harrison loves Canada and its beauty. It is wonderful to hear about the areas through an artist’s eye and voice. The information given is easy to follow, but without any citations probably should not be used on a school report.
