Ode to Newfoundland

  • HARD COVER
  • 32 PAGES
  • YOUNG READERS (Age 4-8)

Butler has taken a well-loved anthem, composed by Sir Cavendish Boyle, governor of Newfoundland from 11901-1904, and transformed it into a vibrant, folksy tale for young readers (CND274, $19.95)

The Hockey Sweater


by Roch Carrier | Sheldon Cohen

  • LITERATURE
  • 1979

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.
