Good basic info for my elementary school class. Clear, bright pictures. Book itself is smaller than expected, but in good condition.

I have many of these Rookie Readers. Happy to receive Diwali to add to my collection. They are great for elementary kids.

This was a good book to share overall information about Diwali with my second grade class.

Perfect explanation of the holiday for my kindergarten class. Beautiful pictures.

As an Indian mom who purchased the book to help her children understand the festival and associated traditions I was very disappointed. It didn't work for my 5 yr old and 4 yr old.
