5.0 out of 5 stars Simple words to share the meaning of holidays May 25, 2000

By Patty Davis

Format:Board book

This book and the authors many others are so perfect for toddlers. Simple words and pictures help explain the meaning and customs of many holidays and traditions, making it a nice way for toddlers to understand. The board book style allows for little fingers to request multiple readings. And we all know how repetition helps them learn. They make great gifts, too.

As a gift for my grandchildren to begin understanding our country's history this was excellent.
If this author has more for other American holidays I would definitely purchase them.
