Would be fun to read to your child! The activities in the back look interesting. Decided to read this one because of the cute art.

Susan Osborn creates an inviting picture book that illustrates common Christmas traditions from around the world. Told from the point of view of different children, Christmas traditions come to life. From China, to Mexico, to Africa, to France, each Christmas tradition us unique and special.

A map is the first picture a reader sees when opening this picture book. The map illustrates where and what countries are going to be explored to learn about Christmas traditions. Through the use of bold word, readers will be able to easily determine who is speaking and where they are from. The images are very detailed and provide the reader with additional information regarding the culture tradition for Christmas.

Insanely offensive and inaccurate.

Really cute book that gives children an appreciation of Christmas in other countries.
