Lovenia Gorman (Author), Melanie Rose (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 6 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up

The second title in our already popular provincial alphabet series, A is for Algonquin: An Ontario Alphabet will introduce young readers to all the beauty of this spectacular province. Written with the charm and knowledge of a life long resident, A is for Algonquin will teach youngsters of all ages about Ontario's inhabitants, history, flora and fauna, movers and shakers.

As with our other two-tiered alphabet books, A is for Algonquin will answer a variety of questions about one of Canada's most picturesque provinces. Is the longest street in the world really in Ontario? And the world's longest skating rink? What is the Group of Seven?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“...introduces young readers to all the beauty of this spectacular province. The text is two-tiered; simple, lyrical poems touch on key points in Ontario’s amazing wilderness, landforms, history and places to visit, while a detailed sidebar expands on each topic with more information for older readers. Luminescent artwork realistically depicts 26 Ontario scenes and events, in this abecedarian look at the province. Other titles in this provincial alphabet series include P is for Puffin, looking at Newfoundland and Labrador, and S is for Spirit Bear, exploring British Colombia.”
