Bought my daughter a few Italian music/book products for Christmas...my husband's family is first generation to America from Italy so my daughter will be exposed to the language quite a bit. We also think it's important for her to hear the language...this is a great CD and wonderfully illustrated book for children. Even though my daughter is still an infant, I know she will enjoy this for years to come. It's taught my husband a lot of Italian holiday traditions too that weren't passed down to him. I really like how the songs are always song in Italian and then English...helps me learn the language too!!!

Absolutely love the way the book and the CD present Italian Christmas traditions. Very well done! Very good teaching tool for any age. Please, note that the author made one error:St.Nicola ( or Nicolo`)was not a Pope, but he was a bishop. This is the only reason why I gave the book 4 stars rather than 5.

Kathie Kelleher's full page illustrations were so eye catching and delightful. This is a great book to share with the kids in your life, this holiday season. Every page created excitement and laughter. It's great to learn about other cultures while having fun. Each page was a "Smorges Board" filled with wonderful copy and exquisite full color illustrations. Highly recommend! Fun for children AND adults.

I saw this book and could not wait to get it for my little girl. Her grandparents are all Italian and my husband and I can speak it as well. We can read it to her in English and Italian and teach her some of the traditions we know of and the songs are great. Must have if you are of Italian descent or just want to preserve some of those good old fashioned traditions. WE have enjoyed it.
