"I have read several of the Why We Celebrate book series and really enjoy them. The origins of the holidays are discussed, how it is celebrated around the world, and why it is important to certain cultures. I like that the books give a suggested list of activities and projects linked to the holiday. This makes the book an excellent resource for elementary school or home school classes as you can combine several subjects in your look at the holiday. Highly recommended, as are all the books in the series." -- Kevin Fontenot, Valued Customer

"This is a fun book for kids and for adults to share with children. In the past, I've noticed there weren't many options like this so I was very happy to get this book. The book is very nice and has great illustrations! It goes into the basics about Earth Day as well as gives some things kids (and adults) can do to do their part in protecting and conserving the earth. This is a great resource for teachers, too...I love it!" -- Figaro Finley, Valued Customer
