10 Ontario School Library Association Book Buzz For the first time in several columns, I am relieved not to have to explain in detail the thematic connection between the books suggested in Book Buzz and the theme of this issue. although I won't give it any further attention, I will point out that Fyodor Dostoevsky's original classic is available for free from Project Gutenberg (www.gutenberg.org/files/2554/2554-h/2554-h.htm) and a free audio version can be downloaded from Librivox (www.librivox.org/crime- and-punishment-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky). The audio version can be streamed from archive.org (www.archive.org/details/crime_and_punishment_0902_librivox). I hope that you will find some of the titles that follow (as well as these links to Dostoevsky's classic Crime and Punishment) useful to you, your teacher colleagues, and your students, as you reflect on crime and punishment in your learning commons. M is for Mountie by Polly Horvath illustrated by Lorna Bennett North Mankato, MN: Cherry Lake Publishing, 2008 ISBN 9781585362677 an alphabet book aimed at an audience from the age 4 and up, M is for Mountie is also a celebration of the history and traditions of the R.c.M.P. It discusses a variety of topics of interest ranging from obvious ones like the origins of the uniform and the training to become a member of the R.c.M.P., to more obscure ones like how the Dempster Highway got its name. This is a 32 page goldmine for young trivia buffs with an interest in canada's national police force.
