Happy Birthday Canada
In Happy Birthday Canada, adorable and adventuresome Chick and Duckling broaden their horizons, travelling by rail from east to west to help the nation celebrate its sesquicentennial. The two friends stop to visit tourist attractions and historical sites along the way, returning to the capital for the biggest party of the year. This charming little book dove-tails delightfully with Carolyn j. Morris' continuing Railfence Bunch series. Morris adeptly uses Canada's national hymn and famous attractions to explain our proud heritage to children. The underlying theme of national unity is exemplified by remembrances of the steam train and the importance of railway construction to our nation building. Richard McNaughton's simple yet exquisite illustrations will provide thought-provoking conversation starters for your children. Happy Birthday Canada is an outstanding nod to Canada's history, geography and peoples, and a welcome addition to the thoughtful children's library. Happy Birthday Canada has 25 pages.
