Canadian Inventors

Who invented the telephone? Or the snowmobile? Or even basketball? Canadians! Meet five Canadians whose inventions changed the world:

Rejoice when Alexander Graham Bell hears the voice of his uncle, 13 kilometres away, through a telephone.
Join James Naismith in the gym as he demonstrates how to play the first ever game of "basket ball."
Ride with Joseph-Armand Bombardier as he guides his B-7 snowmobile down a wintry slope.
Celebrate as Rachel Zimmerman’s Blissymbol Printer helps people share their thoughts.
And give a thumbs-up to BlackBerry, Mike Lazardis’ amazing communication device.

Canadian Inventors is designed for young Canadians to read themselves, and for all Canadians to enjoy. Author Maxine Trottier is a former elementary teacher with a passion for history. She has written many children’s books. This volume is intended for ages 7-9.
