While A IS FOR ALGONQUIN is valuable for its overview of important facts about Ontario, readers should approach the text with skepticism. The vocabulary employed is demanding for grade-school kids, and the diction is often awkward: "The shores of the lake [Ontario] have some large urban centres located along it, like Hamilton"; and finally, the tone is dry and mechanical (e.g "Some Mennonites still have strict values and use traditional farming methods today as they continue to live in rural, community-based environments.") As for the illustrations: some of the paintings are muddy looking.
