That's Very Canadian: An Exceptionally Intersting Report About All Things Canadian, by Rachel by Vivien Bowers (Aug 21 2004)

Just what is it that makes Canadians so . . . Canadian? From Mounties to maple syrup, this delightful new entry in the award-winning Wow Canada! series provides young readers with an engaging examination and celebration of some of the more singular facets of Canadian culture. Written from the viewpoint of a student doing a project on Canada's symbols and cultural identity, it answers questions such as Why are cereal boxes written in French and English? How did a beaver become the national icon? What is a "loonie"? and What's with "eh"? The book also offers straightforward information on Canadian spelling, usage, and pronunciation; national, provincial, and territorial symbols; uniquely Canadian foods like pemmican and fiddleheads; and the differences between Canada and its neighbor to the south, America.
