From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6–An attractive book that was specifically designed around questions sent in by Canadian children. Topics include polar bears, dinosaurs, icebergs, hockey, totem poles, archaeology, and more. Tour guides Vivien and Morton escort readers on a highly visual and graphically appealing journey through some of the lesser-used corridors of the country. Various questions or comments are printed at the tops of the pages, and the guides appear as comic characters who converse throughout the text. The three chapters are grouped around subtopics: Highly Questionable Critters (aspects of wildlife), This Land of Ours (anything geographical, geological, or agricultural), and Explain Yourselves, Canadians! (culture or recreation). The art, a combination of full-color photographs and collage illustrations, resembles the layout of a scrapbook. Given the format, the book will be a little tricky to use for research, but it's a perfect book for browsing.–Corrina Austin, Locke's Public School, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada

From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. This entry in the new Canadian Geographic Kids series uses queries from real kids, set down in a question-and-answer format, to provide information about Canada. Organized into topical chapters dealing with animals, landforms, and Canadians themselves, the book follows two bespectacled cartoon researchers, Vivien and Morton, as they encounter an assortment of creatures and experts who help them answer their questions. Frequent clear, full-color photographs, drawings, graphs, and sidebars break up the text and flesh out the commentary. The tone is humorous ("Are there poisonous snakes in Canada?" "Why do some Canadians say 'eh'?"), but not over the top. Although a few more maps would have helped non-Canadian readers, this appealing, colorful package has plenty of facts about America's northern neighbor. Kay Weisman
