The Summer Solstice

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Davey Ellis. In simple language this book offers intriguing glimpses of both ancient and contemporary midsummer celebrations around the world. Short explanations of the holiday's history in different countries are followed by related activities that are fairly weak. The book's focus often seems Eurocentric despite its claims, but young readers will glean some information from this quick introduction. Bib.
