Review Detail

Kayla is excited to be taking part in the carnival celebrations this year. Her mom and grandmother help her to get ready, but she rips her dress! Will she get it mended in time?
What I liked: Kayla is a great character and I loved her enthusiasm for carnival and how much she gets involved. The book has some great illustrations that really help tell the story and it is great for kids who want to know more about other cultures. It also has a very positive message that when we come together we can achieve anything.
What left me wanting more: I would have liked to see a little more info about the carnival and more on the customs.
Overall verdict: a fun read for kids with a positive message at the heart of it. I would definitely recommend it especially to any children who live near the celebrations and want to know more.
