5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Introduction to Diwali! , November 16, 2004
I really am pleased how it approaches its subject matter. Most children's books about international holidays are too technical and long to be used as a read aloud. This book can be useful and provide useful information. If a student wants more they can read a more complex book later. It also helps include an ESOL child's holiday in class, even young kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Introducing Young Children to Hinduism, December 8, 2008
Geared for younger children (4-8), this book introduces the Hindu festival of Diwali by walking through one family's celebration of the day. It is part of the Festival Time series, a collection of books introducing holidays from all the major religions. Good for introducing this age group to Hinduism.
