Absolutely love the way the book and the CD present Italian Christmas traditions. Very well done! Very good teaching tool for any age. Please, note that the author made one error:St.Nicola ( or Nicolo`)was not a Pope, but he was a bishop. This is the only reason why I gave the book 4 stars rather than 5.Mariolina
Bought my daughter a few Italian music/book products for Christmas...my husband's family is first generation to America from Italy so my daughter will be exposed to the language quite a bit. We also think it's important for her to hear the language...this is a great CD and wonderfully illustrated book for children. Even though my daughter is still an infant, I know she will enjoy this for years to come. It's taught my husband a lot of Italian holiday traditions too that weren't passed down to him. I really like how the songs are always song in Italian and then English...helps me learn the language too!!!
What a book. It brought so many memories back of my childhood when my mother was teaching me all of the traditions in Italy for the holidays as well as the songs. The CD is conveniently placed in the inside cover and the songs are song beautifully.
We listen to this CD throughout the year. The songs are outstanding - the history behind the traditions is very interesting. I'd give this book six stars if I could, I love it that much. This is a top-quality book for learning Italian.
This book is very well made, the colors are wonderful, the content is interesting and fun, the use of both English and Italian is great, and I love that a CD was included. I have yet to listen to it but I can assume by the quality of the book and the songs lyrics included in the book that it will be just as wonderful! I highly recommend this book!
While we haven't used the book yet with our baby, we played the CD over and over in the car. It has all the detail of Italian style Christmases read in a story fashion along with beautiful songs, including Santa Lucia. It was very enjoyable.
I saw this book and could not wait to get it for my little girl. Her grandparents are all Italian and my husband and I can speak it as well. We can read it to her in English and Italian and teach her some of the traditions we know of and the songs are great. Must have if you are of Italian descent or just want to preserve some of those good old fashioned traditions. WE have enjoyed it.
