About this title

Synopsis:

All over the world, in every tradition and culture, children tidy up, wash, get dressed, go to bed etc. The titles in this series look at how children learn how to take care of themselves. Using bright colour photographs and short texts this series gives beginning readers and pre-school children a glimpse of children around the world doing everyday things and provides them with a sense of the ways in which people's lives are the same and different the world over. What do you celebrate? A winning football game? Holidays or birthdays? "Celebrating" takes you all around the world to find out what people celebrate.
