5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME, EDUCATIONAL and FUN!, November 25, 1999
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Holidays and Anniversaries of the World (Hardcover)
This book is huge! It goes through every day of the year, listing holidays around the world inlcuding all religions and nationalities. It lists historical events for that day, famous birthdays, etc.

I highly recommend it for anyone who needs some creative ideas on a month-to-month basis other than the standard holidays. It lists those goofie, off-the-wall celebrations: Did you know January 4 (pg.2) is "National Trivia Day?" Or that February (pg. 87-88) is also has "National Pickle Week" (I always thought it was in May!) or "Kraut and Frankfurter Week" or is "National Potato Lover's Month?" And although August (pg. 584) doesn't have any national holidays it does have "National Clown Week" and ironically "National Beauty Queen Week." LOL Who thinks of this stuff anyway?

I bought this as a reference book for ideas for my website. But, teachers, social event supervisors, etc. might find it a great resource for projects also.
