From the Back Cover
The humorous, touching story of a young Quebec boy whose joy turns to horror when Eaton's mistakenly ships a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey sweater instead of the Montreal Canadiens sweater ordered by his mother. When he is forced to wear the Leafs "uniform," his whole world changes, including the attitudes of his teammates.
This quintessential Canadian tale is accompanied by four stories from Carrier's classic collection, including "Son of a Smaller Hero," "Pierrette's Bumps," "The Machine For Detecting Everything That's American," and "What Language Do Bears Talk?" Featuring the voices of Gratien Gélinas, Mireille Lachance, Flora Belzano, and other familiar actors, this audio edition of Roch Carrier's stories of childhood will entertain the entire family.
