Canadian books and materials

[Jean Townes <townesj@PEAK.ORG>]

As part of a school-wide focus on international studies next year, a third
grade class will be studying Canada.  I have located some resources but
would like to find more from Canadian sources. I think I am aware of most
of what is available in this country and am looking for materials that
aren't available here in the US.

Is there a series of books on the Canadian provinces other than the Hello
Canada series from Lerners? I would like to find others like these but at
a lower reading level.  I bet there are some teacher curriculum resources
with reproducibles and activities for Canadian children to learn about
the provinces.  Can somebody make a recommendation?

Other recommendations for books appropriate for this grade level about
things Canadian?  Perhaps about the Mounties, ice hockey from a Canadian
perspective, culture and holidays, geography, read-aloud stories with a
Canadian setting?? Anything else you feel would enrich and inform?

And of course I will also need help with identifying a place to order
from.  I have up to $135 US to spend.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
