Gr 1-3-These books explore their respective holidays in short sentences that face a captioned, black-and-white or color photograph. Chapter headings ask questions such as, "What Is Special About Martin Luther King Jr. Day?" and "How Has Juneteenth Changed?" encouraging critical thinking. Each book describes how the commemoration began and how it is observed, etc., and has a "Did You Know?" section, offering more tidbits. Good resources for beginning researchers.-Tracy Bell, Eastway Elementary School, Durham, NC Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
