Atlas of Canada

"Detailed maps introduce young children to the geography, history and culture of Canada. This beginner's atlas presents each Canadian province and territory in 2 ways, with different information each time. Children can locate mountains, lakes and rivers, and their own city, town or region. They can find out what people do for work and for fun all across Canada, and where the things their families use (e.g. oil, wood, grain) come from. Historical maps of Canada provide children with a sense of how Canada has changed, from the time before the arrival of Europeans through the waves of immigration. Includes map concepts and skills (scale, direction, symbols, the legend) plus a world map and simple gazetteer (index of places). This new edition updates information on Canada's indigenous people and all the relevant stats."--… (more)
