5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable book, November 14, 2002

This review is from: Kwanzaa Kids (Lift-the-Flap, Puffin) (Paperback)

This is a great book for pre-K or kindergarten kids. It explains Kwanzaa in simple language with rhymes that make it fun. The large shapes and bright intense colors appeal to kids this age. And the flaps are big, easy for little hands to grasp, and not easily torn. This is a book that was needed, so I'm glad to find it.

This review is from: Kwanzaa Kids (Lift-the-Flap, Puffin) (Paperback)

Kwanzaa Kids, a popup book, provides kids with suggestion about Kwanzaa. I like the idea of the pop-up book; it allows children some interaction with the book. However, I did not like the illustrations because the faces were so plain. In addition, some of the activities did not correspond with the principles of Kwanzaa.
