The National Library of Canada recently released the eleventh annual version of Read Up On It, a bilingual guide to the best in Canadian literature for children and young adults. This year's theme is "Tickle Your Funny Bone!," focusing on humorous Canadian children's books. The guide lists English and French titles, English titles in braille, award-winning French and English books, and French books on cassette. Selection criteria and indexes are also included. The online version offers brief reviews of each book, images of their cover, and links to publisher information. (Please note this last feature was not operable at time of review, but publisher information can be accessed from the table of contents.) The main Read Up On It site offers information on ordering a print copy and an interactive game for young users.
