Content
For children, national holidays are important events in the course of the year. This book introduces the most important holidays, along with their origins and traditions: from New Year’s Eve and Shrovetide to Easter and spring and summer festivals all the way to Halloween, Saint Martin’s Day and Christmas. At the same time, the book also introduces children to festive occasions from other cultures, such as the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, or the Japanese flower-viewing festival of Hanami.
About the Series
The WWW series stands out for its playful, enticing way of conveying just the information that kids want to know. Centered on who-what-how questions, the titles in the series explore subjects of great interest to young children. The thousands of questions children ask daily are answered by means of interactive elements, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate texts. Because the lively illustrations convey so much, the books hold children's interest even without an adult to read the clear, friendly texts. WWW is ideally suited for preschool and kindergarten ages, for children 4 to 7 years old.
