Book Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-Each of these titles begins with an introduction that includes information on history, religion, language, regions, cooking, and seasonal celebrations and a clear, simple map. Three subsequent chapters highlight
specific celebrations with several recipes. The first book covers Carnival, Iemanj , and Saint John's Day. Italian describes Saint Joseph's Day, Christmas, and the Festival of Santa Rosalia. The last title explains Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Passover, and
Purim. The 10 easy-to-follow recipes in each volume are for main dishes, vegetables, salads, beverages, and desserts and call for easy-to-find ingredients. Ample margin space, a large-print format, well-spaced text, and simple language make this series
appealing to children. Clear, color photos bring the celebrations to life. A "Note to Readers" before the contents page mentions safety precautions.
