Review by Horn Book Review

While the vibrant contemporary photos are attractive, the lack of cultural background information limits these books' usefulness. There's no historical information in Thanksgiving; Chinese New Year contains none of the holiday's legends; and Halloween vaguely mentions that "it started in Europe." The simplistic texts include sidebars with reader-engagement questions (e.g., "What else might people give thanks for?"). Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers the following Bumba Books: It's a Holiday! titles: It's Thanksgiving!, It's Chinese New Year!, and It's Halloween!.] (c) Copyright 2017.
