Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 2—Each book begins with a contents page and a word list. The holiday is described, including a short explanation of its history; full-page, full-color photos show typical celebration. Pages average five sentences, making the books adequate introductions for very young children or beginning readers. Select these titles as needed for updating holiday collections or to meet state-standards units.—Sharon R. Pearce, Longfellow Elementary School, Oak Park, IL
