Anabel Kindersley
Horn Book (c) Copyright The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. 9780789420275 Fiction: NF Age: 4-6 Foreword by Harry Belafonte. This colorful book, published in association with UNICEF, looks at secular and religious holidays as they are celebrated by children in eighteen different countries. Large, bright photographs and brief facts give details about twenty-five holidays, including Carnival in Brazil and Egemenlik Bayrami, Turkish Independence Day. The presentation is appealing, but the information is random and disconnected. Ind. Horn Rating: Recommended, with minor flaws. Reviewed by: mvk (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book (c) Copyright The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. 9780525457213 Fiction: PB This picture book suffers from an attempt to be at once a history of beads and a craft book in the guise of a story about a beader and her granddaughter. The decorative, earthy illustrations depict a variety of beads in painstaking, stylized detail, but are ultimately as incohesive and unfocused as the text. More in-depth bead information is provided at the end of the book. Horn Rating: Marginal, seriously flawed, but with some redeeming quality. Reviewed by: mb (c) Copyright 2010.
