5.8

“A fabulous overview and introduction for littles to an array of holidays, with extra information and a pronunciation guide in the endpapers (but phonetic spellings on the pages throughout, too, is a huge win). The illustrations are beautiful and the few rhyming lines share a fun insight into each holiday.”

“Though the rhyming cadence could be improved, this is still a great introduction to celebrations around the world.”
