2 comments about Cinco De Mayo (World of Holidays).
- There are 23 pages of actual information, that cover such topics as: Fiestas & Festivals, The People, Benito Juarez, The Battle of Pueblo (what Cinco de Mayo celebrates), Costumes, Music, Dances, Parades & Parties, Food, and directions to make a "Farolito" (a decorated paper bag you put sand & a flashlite in for the evening celebrations). They list that this book is for kids 9-12. However with it's simplistic writing and the colorful pictures, it could also be used to "read to" younger children.
- The text is dry and impersonal; it is a string of facts versus a story. I found it most useful for understanding the history of the celebration of Cinco de Mayo but wished it offered more entertainment value. The many (though small) photos enhance the book. The best images are of the various costumes and traditional dress worn in parades and performances.
