Media reviews

“From Then to Now: A Short History of the World, by Christopher Moore, is a fascinating examination of the evolution of human civilization that is global in its span and inclusive in its outlook. The energetic narrative tells a story that rivals the very best fiction.”
—Governor General Awards Jury’s Comment

“…From Then to Now… offers young readers ages 10 and up a fascinating look at how individual societies have struggled to make their way despite the ravages of war, disease, slavery, natural disasters and our ever-expanding wealth of knowledge. It was an ambitious undertaking to condense that much history into a form young readers 10 and up can relate to, but Toronto author Christopher Moore and illustrator Andrej Krystoforski of Poland have done an excellent job.”
–Waterloo Region Record

PRAISE FOR CHAMPLAIN:
“…[a] lushly pictorial biography, extended with archival artwork, maps, and artifacts ….”
– School Library Journal

“[N]ot only introduces readers to the explorer’s life story and the challenges he faced in North America, it also provides excellent background information ….”
– Booklist

PRAISE FOR THE BIG BOOK OF CANADA:
“… [an] excellent addition to school or home bookshelf.”
– The Globe and Mail
