Most Ramadan books are too difficult to read to my young students and I was missing that perfect book about this holiday. Now I can read them a book the students can enjoy and 1st and 2nd graders can read it on their own too! Thanks for the book, if only it had arrived sooner.

This book is good for a general introduction of
Muslim holidays to kids. My son was able to read
this book to his first grade class. As a Muslim
Mom I want to be able to use story books to bring
knowledge about our religion to the kids in a fun way.

Suitable for preschoolers, this book is written from the perspective of the younger sister who is still too young to fast, but notices what her older brother is doing. I'm not very impressed with the illustrations; they make the family look like they are dumb or simple minded.

Easy reader, short and sweet. For little children, is a treat.

That about sums it up.



Ideal for the pre-K crowd.

I will be reading this book to my son's kindergarten class this Ramadan! I've read this book to kinders before and they really enjoyed and were able to relate themselves.

This book you can tell was not written by a muslim. So the way they presented ramadan is dull, yes is simple to read but at least a little love for the month is not shown. No excitement is like just writing facts with pictures. Does not really make it fun for kids.

You don't feel the excitement of ramadan with this instead you get few facts that really does not sound like a child explaining ramadan or the eid. Better books out there in this topic. Make sure is written by a muslim. Not trying to be racist but an author who really experience ramadan will really show the excitement and love for the month of ramadan in their writing.
