Whether they're decorating Easter trees or celebrating Wagner's birthday by playing recordings of his Ring cycle operas and incinerating a model of Valhalla on an outdoor barbecue to the closing strains of "Gotterdämerung," Americans know both how to create and how to celebrate holidays. Jack Santino's guide to such frivolity is a wonderfully readable exploration of holidays, periods of festivity, and life-cycle rituals and celebrations. Santino draws on history, anthropology, popular culture, and folklore to show the intricate relationships between holidays and the roles that celebrations and rituals play in people's lives.

Gorgeous, detailed artwork accompanies the information about the lives of animals throughout the seasons, revealing the diverse ways that some animals are active during at night while others are active during the day. If you are looking to find books for children about nocturnal animals that make learning fun, then this is perfect! Children in classrooms and at home will be inspired to appreciate the world around us! "While you are sleeping and when you arise, animals everywhere lead busy lives. Winter or summer, and all the year through, let's take a look at what some of them do." Eagles fish for breakfast, bats eat mouthfuls of mosquitoes, squirrels busily gather acorns, and cougars quietly prowl through snow. Diane's delightful rhyming verses depict the diverse lives of two animals for each month of the year—one animal that's active for time during the day and another active at nighttime, for a total of 24 fascinating critters. Andrea gives her water color paintings a stylized flair by employing her own unique digital technique. Backmatter Includes: Explore More for Kids: matching game with the animals in this book!
