The Hockey Sweater


by Roch Carrier | Sheldon Cohen

  • LITERATURE
  • 1979
  • PAPER
  • 24 PAGES
  • YOUNG READERS (Age 4-8)

A beloved children's book, first published in Canada in both English and French in 1979. It's 1946 in Quebec, and all the boys are sporting Montreal Canadiens sweaters; so imagine young Roch's dismay when his new, mail-order sweater turns out to bear the logo of the Toronto Maple Leafs! With winning illustrations and an indisputably Canadian theme, this is a fine travel companion for children 6 to 9. With terrific illustrations adapted by animator Sheldon Cohen from his short film. (CND135, $10.99)
