Product Description
Product Description
From Native peoples in search of new hunting grounds to European fishermen out for bigger catches, explorers were drawn to Canada for many reasons. They discovered a vast and mysterious land that took hundreds of years to explore and map. But the story of Canadian exploration is about a lot more than mapping wilderness. With no new lands left to discover, present-day explorers focus on outer space, the ocean and the preservation of Earth's changing ecosystems.

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kids Book of Canadian Exploration (Hardcover)
If you are a kid in grade 6 and learning about explorers in school then you should read this book. It has a lot of interesting information about lots of explorers of Canada to help you do a history project. It was pretty interesting to read and has good pictures and maps to help you see what it was like to be an explorer back then. There is a timeline at the back of the book so you can figure out when different explorers were exploring Canada and it tells you stuff that isn't even in your textbook. Tell your teacher about it. by Kevin
