Free Fasting And Dates: A Ramadan And Eid-ul-Fitr Story (Festival Time!) Ebooks Online
Books in the Festival Time series describe the activities of typical families as parents and children celebrate some of their culture’s major holidays. Attractive color illustrations on every page will appeal to younger children. The simply yet delightfully told stories describe the festivities while giving children background information about holidays in many different cultures. A two-page spread at the back of each book contains information for parents, and includes suggestions on ways to communicate the holiday’s meaning to kids. A typical Muslim family celebrates the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. In 2004, Ramadan lasts for the entire 30-day lunar month from October 16 through November 13. In 2005, it occurs from October 5 through November 3. It is the time of year for parents and older children to fast, give special praise to God, and be charitable to the poor and needy. The festival of Eid-ul-Fitr occurs on the day following the last day of Ramadan. Families welcome this festival with an elaborate meal attended by extended family and friends. Traditional foods are eaten, including dates and pomegranates.

Most Ramadan books are too difficult to read to my young students and I was missing that perfect book about this holiday. Now I can read them a book the students can enjoy and 1st and 2nd graders can read it on their own too! Thanks for the book, if only it had arrived sooner.
Suitable for preschoolers, this book is written from the perspective of the younger sister who is still too young to fast, but notices what her older brother is doing. I'm not very impressed with the illustrations; they make the family look like they are dumb or simple minded.
This book is good for a general introduction ofMuslim holidays to kids. My son was able to readthis book to his first grade class. As a MuslimMom I want to be able to use story books to bringknowledge about our religion to the kids in a fun way.
I purchased this for my 4 year old daughter prior to this past Ramadan. With this book she was able to understand and comprehend what is fasting and what are dates. It is very simple, sweet and to the point, just for kids. She loves it as much as I do. Great book to have on the shelf for when Ramadan comes.
