K-3Seasonal Companions series.
These all-things-Christmas and -Easter volumes broadly discuss religious origins and traditions from around the world as well as suggest crafts and recipes with rather challenging instructions. The text is serviceable, but the scrapbooklike layout is congested. Color photos show people of different ethnicities; the biblical story sections feature illustrations with white characters. Christmas includes a play script. A quiz concludes each book. Ind. Review covers these Seasonal Companions titles: The Christmas Book and The Easter Book.
