This book is very informative with great illustrations. This book would be perfect for young children to learn about a different culture and learn why it's important and also what it celebrates. This would be a great read-aloud book to read during Diwali to educate a class on its traditions.
This book was easy to comprehend and focused on the Diwali (A Hindu festival).I thought the graphics were great. This would be a good book if you want to learn or teach someone about cultural celebrations in India.
Beautifully colored board book that goes into much detail about Diwali.
Celebrate the World : Diwali by Hannah Eliot illustrated by Archana Sreenivasan BOARD BOOK Little Simon (Simon and Schuster), 2018. $9.BUYING ADVISORY: PRE K - ADVISABLE AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE The Hindu festival of Diwali is celebrated. The 5 day festival includes preparation, lights, food and traditions including prayers, and even fireworks! This is a lovely primer about Diwali. The illustrations are busy without being too much - there's a lot to look at, so the child can spend a good amount
Beautiful illustrations. Good introductory information.
I really enjoy this one but I also think it's really strange that it is in the form of a boardbook, as the vocabulary and writing are meant for definitely not boardbook age.
This is a lovely little nonfiction board book about the Diwali holidays. In gives little ones a simple explanation about what Diwali is and how it's celebrated. The illustrations are bright and colorful. This is a good book to read to young kids if you're looking for books about culture and traditions around the world.
This book, the latest in the CELEBRATE YOUR WORLD series, explains Diwali to little readers. It goes through the basics of what Diwali is, how to prepare for it, and what happens over the course of the five day celebration. The explanations are clear. The illustrations are vibrant and inviting. I really enjoyed this book and think sharing it is a great way to introduce children to the holiday. My one big qualm is that I don't understand the choice to make this a board book. For me, the text is t...
I like this book because it was about some holiday. It's called Diwali, the important time of year for one of my friends; his name is Ishaan (I don't know what his favorite color is) and his baby brother Viaan if also important to him. And his father Pradyush and his mother Carolina. Which I think was sort of out Spanish teacher when I didn't have a Spanish teacher in school.
This is a perfect introductory book that highlights the celebrations & festivities during the 5 days of Diwali.Especially perfect for toddlers, as it's a board book, and they'll love the colorful illustrations!Though it's a great read for older kids as well, Indians & non Indians alike. In-fact this would be the perfect book to take & read to your kids class (especially if you are living outside India) to introduce them to the festival. Also, this particular book doesn't get into religion, just
A succinct introduction (though, much wordier than most board books) to Diwali (Celebrate the World series) in a board book format. Gorgeous, colorful illustrations by Archana Sreenivasan bring this holiday to life and readers of all ages will want to pore over them.
Not sure why this book needed to be a board book.
Beautifully written and illustrated. It's a very good introduction to the holiday for children who celebrate Diwali and, for those who don't, a good resource for learning to understand and appreciate other cultures.
I like to teach my kids about other cultures.
This is a great introduction to Diwali, which the girls have been exposed to a bit when we go into the city. I love the colours of the illustrations.
This is one book in an entire series of board books with the goal of opening up the youngest listeners to the variety of cultures and some of their celebrations. I've read two of these already, but this one is my favorite.Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is celebrated around this time of year (end of October/early November). In these pages, the background behind Diwali is very quickly hit upon (the goddess and how the light invites her in), allowing the main focus to remain on the p...
Lovely illustrations and explanation of the holiday. I would have liked a pronunciation guide, to be sure I am reading correctly.
Another good holiday book from the "Celebrate the World" series.
A great primer about Diwali! What a fun holiday to learn about.For my full review, visit http://kissthebookjr.blogspot.com
This is the third is a series of books we got our son on holidays from around the world. He enjoys the bright, fun, engaging pictures, and we as parents appreciate the good introductions to other cultures and religions as we try to raise a respectful, inclusive child.
