In the beginning, I had trouble follow where the book was going. I understand that it was a glimpse at Canadian’s beginnings but i was expecting a story being told through generations as a family sit down. But the book does have a song at the end that goes with it which is fantastic. Canada’s beginning is very similars to Americas which was something great to learn about since my knowledge of Canada is slim. ( )

A handsomely illustrated version of the song that chronicles the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Offers insightful snapshots of Canadian history and natural beauty. Informative back matter. ( )

Hardcover was the first book sold. Purchased by us at ALA 2010.
