Synopsis
An introduction to the traditions, festivities, and history of Chinese New Year for the youngest readers.
This fact-filled Rookie Read-About Holiday book introduces the youngest readers (Ages 3-6) to Cinco de Mayo. Colorful photos and very simple nonfiction text encourage children to read on their own as they take an in-depth look at the Mexican holiday known as Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates a battle for freedom fought in Mexico in 1861, and describes how it is celebrated today.

K-Gr. 2. These titles in the ongoing Rookie Read-About Holidays series introduce two holidays in a format designed for beginning readers. Both books combine crisp color photographs with a few sentences per page, printed in large type set against bright white backgrounds. Holi briefly retells the Hindu holiday's story before describing the raucous, colorful ways that the day--a "holiday when everyone can be a kid!"--is celebrated. Cinco de Mayo is equally succinct. It outlines the events that led up to the Battle of Puebla in remarkably simple terms, and then shows various aspects of contemporary festivities, including a mariachi band, dancers, parades, and so on. Presenting only the basics, the books will leave many children with questions, including the location of Mexico and India (no maps are included). But these holidays are often overlooked in books for youth, especially for this age group, and the pictures and words combine to offer bright, serviceable introductions. A vocabulary review closes each book. Gillian Engberg
