Play Mas'!: A Carnival ABC

32 pp. | Tundra | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-88776-486-X $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ras Stone. This original alphabet book spotlights Carnival (rooted in the French tradition of the Masquerade, or Mas' ), the annual Caribbean celebration informed by African, West Indian, and Spanish cultures. The text is alliterative ("See the steel drums scorched and shaped to satisfaction"), while the mood of the illustrations (depicting parades, contests, artwork, musicians, and dancers) is festive, the images are sometimes repetitive.
