Countries of The World: Canada Paperback / softback
by Brian Williams, National Geographic Kids
Part of the Countries of The World series
Paperback / softback
Description
National Geographic invites young readers to look north - to the world's second-largest country.
Learn how Canada boasts more lakes than any other nations, and why its geological, climatic, and ecological variety make it a geographer's wonderland. Look back to a time when timber, minerals, and fresh water reserves initially attracted settlers to this great wilderness.
Learn the background of Canada's formation in 1867 when three British colonies united to create a partially independent state of four provinces.
Read how Canada achieved full independence in 1931. Experience a modern country self-sufficient in fossil fuels, whose rivers supply hydroelectric power to the big cities of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
It's here that you'll meet most Canadians, with three-quarters of the population now living in such metropolitan areas.
Within these cities, immigrants from all over the Earth have etched out their own communities, making Canadian society a modern mosaic of assimilated cultures.
