I got this book from the library because my son is obsessed with Angry Birds--and was surprised how much I enjoyed reading it with him. The Angry Birds are just the "hook" to get kids reading a great non-fiction book about a variety of celebrations from all over the world--from familiar holidays like Mother's Day and Thanksgiving to a Chinese holiday that involves climbing a tower of dumplings and a festival in Niger where young men compete in a beauty and dance pageant that's judged by the women. There's only one page about each holiday (along with a photo) but it's a great overview of both traditional and wacky celebrations.
My 6 year old LOVES this book!! He loves angry birds and is really into holidays. It has a lot of detail that goes over his head, but that means he will enjoy it again when he is older and understands everything.
This is a book that tells about all the different festivals. It was very informative and made you want to take part in the festivals.
Gift for young boy that likes this series.
