Do you know
where the Prince of Wales Fort is located? Or where the birthplace of
confederation is? Have you ever wondered how Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
got its name? You want to know how you can get the answers to those
questions (and maybe an A in socials)? By reading Digging Canadian
History.
Rebecca L. Grambo wrote Digging Canadian History. She is an
award-winning author who mainly writes non-fiction books for adults and
children. You may be able to check out her some of her other titles, which
include Digging Canadian Dinosaurs, Lupe: A Wolf Cub’s First Year,
and Wolf: Legend, Enemy, Icon. Her writing reflects all of the
visiting and travelling she has done throughout the world.
I am not the biggest fan of non-fiction books and unfortunately this book
didn’t change anything. It didn’t have enough detailed pictures and some of
the illustrations seemed incomplete to me. On the plus side though, I think
this was 10 times better than going to a museum. It was filled with more
stories than facts. This book brought you to places all over Canada, yet it
was contained to only 64 pages. I felt that Canada’s history could be made
into a much longer book. Since it was only 64 pages, I think this would be
suitable for a reader aged 8 and above. It is a great study tool and as
pretty close to an archaeology dig than most people will get.
I give
Digging Canadian History 3 stars.
