Canadian Children's Books by Raymond E Jones
This book provides teachers, librarians, and other educators, parents and relatives, and students with a comprehensive and detailed examination of Canadian children's books.

Appendices list the winners of the major English-Canadian children's book awards and sources for further reading.Jon C. Stott, emeritus professor at the University of Alberta, has written on independent baseball and the beer industry in the past. He is currently based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
