Jacques Cartier: Exploring the St. Lawrence River

Each colorful book in this series describes what an explorer's life was really like on an expedition, from what they wore to what they ate, and includes colorful maps and images showing the areas explored; a look at the political climates of various countries that made explorers venture out into the unknown; and an examination of how explorers lived while on the high seas, on the trail, or in the encampment.

Good book - lots of information about life on board a ship and about the reasons before exploration. Will have to buy it before my next explorer unit.

I enjoyed reading the history of the exploration of part of Canada by Jacques Cartier. Easy to read and great illustrations.
