“Readers of The Canadian Shield Alphabet will be taken on an informative journey through a landscape that extends over half of Canada’s total area.
Cleverly using the alphabet as a tool for organizing information pertaining to people, places and events unique to the Shield country, the author guides
us through time and place — over massive systems of rivers and lakes, swamps, dense forests and the more northerly taiga/tundra ... young and old
alike will discover a region of great diversity in natural history and peoples.” Katherine Pettipas, curator, The Manitoba Museum
