Review by Horn Book Review

The attractive series, filled with excellent photos, deserves more specific texts. Christmas mentions churches and Christianity, but omits the birth of Jesus and accurate terminology such as Advent; Hanukkah does not retell the miraculous legend and calls a dreidel simply "a top"; and Ramadan does not mention Muhammad or Allah. Sidebars with reader-engagement questions are included. Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers the following Bumba Books: It's a Holiday! titles: It's Christmas, It's Hanukkah!, and It's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr!.] (c) Copyright 2017.
