I liked this book a lot. It had lots of interesting facts of a variety and was all stuff significant to Canada. The one thing about this book that I think would make it easier to read is maybe changing the layout. Sometimes there was one fact per page, and other times there were two. It got a bit confusing at first, but after a while I got it.

I didn't like this book very much. I think that the pages were too busy, and the layout was very confusing. Also, the book kept on stating facts that weren't very clear, and hard to understand. In all, I think the writer could make the text easier to read, and less confusing, and that would help readers a lot.

I liked this book a lot! I learned a lot about Canada when I read this. It was just sort of a lot going on the pages.

I personally enjoyed this book. It taught me a lot about Canada and I learned so much about my history as a Canadian, this book was a little to cramped because on each page there should of been less like if there were more pages and less info on each one. But after all this book was good and very informative.
