TD Canada Children’s Book Week 2007

Have you seen our time machine before? No? Well, hop in. We’re headed back to November 2007 to check out TD Canada Children’s Book Week.

Dan Bar-el went to Saskatchewan, where kids dress pretty interestingly (Hey, is this time machine set to October 31?! Oops!):

Liam O’Donnell went to Nunavut, and met some OWL fans:

Our time machine is top secret, okay? This is all just between you and me.

What’s that? No, of course you can’t borrow it!
