1000 Books Week Five

Can you believe this program has been going on for a month already? 30 days and 24 children reading later, I'd say we're doing alright!

Our last Book of the Week was a favorite of mine, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", by Beatrix Potter.

This week's Book is a bit more patriotic, what with Canada Day almost upon us! "Our Canadian Flag", by Maxine Trottier and Brian Deines.




A patriotic look at the Canadian flag. The maple leaf is a powerful symbol. Take a heartfelt look at what it means to everyday Canadians. Emotional text, beautiful illustrations, and sidebars that add fascinating details and facts about the history of our flag make this book perfect for the classroom or for anyone who simply loves this great country.


Whatever your plans are for celebrating Canada's birthday, I hope they include sitting down with a good book! I know I will!
