Christmas in Canada (Christmas Around the World Ser)
Gr. 4-6. This overview of Canadian Christmases includes information about the country's various ethnic groups and how they celebrate. A chapter is devoted to the customs of the French Canadians, but there is also discussion of British traditions, as well as those of the Germans, Mennonites, Ukrainians, and native peoples. Crafts, recipes, and songs complete the book. Nicely illustrated with color photographs and historical engravings, like last year'sChristmas in Today's Germany, this twelfth entry in a one-book-a-year (boxed with an ornament, an advent calendar, and recipe cards) multicultural Christmas series should find a place on holiday shelves.Ilene Cooper
