Language and reading level
Say whether you want English or French. Quebec buyers often want French titles, and a French book is hard to find on an English listing unless the seller states the language. Give the reading level as an age range, such as 3 to 5 years, because age ranges printed on Canadian packaging are the guide most sellers use. Ask the seller to confirm the language and the age range in the offer.
Toys, safety and bundled sets
A book bundled with a plush toy, a sound module or another toy part is covered by the Toys Regulations, which apply to children's toys in Canada. Check the age range on the cover and ask whether the set includes small parts. The Health Canada guidance also notes that not every children's product has been tested, so ask the seller about safety before you buy a set.
Season and delivery
Books sell through the year, but many buyers order in November and December for the holidays, and reading gifts are popular in the cold months from December to February. A back-to-school order in late summer is another common purchase. Give the delivery city and the date you need the book, and ask whether the price includes shipping across Canada, because delivery times differ between Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa.
