(4) K-3 Yo solo festividades series. Illustrated by David L. Erickson. Knudsen shares Easter celebrations from countries around the world including Switzerland, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Mexico. Informative illustrations depict the various traditions, often including special clothing. The translation is mostly accurate with the exception of one word, cuclillo, which is not commonly used by native Spanish speakers, and one page seems to be missing text. A map and recipe are appended.
