dandelionfluff's review against another edition
3.0
It's a nice book about New Year celebrations all over the world. Very difficult to find truly international children's literature, so this is quite a find! However, the narrative style is a bit much to take in, with a horizontal strip of text running in-between top and bottom rows of illustrations. I'm not sure if reading this out loud in a classroom would be effective, since the illustrations are small. Definitely something to meet at a one-on-one level.
Jack Zipes likes this book a lot, which he talks about in his work [b:Relentless Progress: The Reconfiguration of Children's Literature, Fairy Tales, and Storytelling|6498661|Relentless Progress The Reconfiguration of Children's Literature, Fairy Tales, and Storytelling|Jack Zipes|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347383166s/6498661.jpg|6690167].
