Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Happy Happy Holidays /
S. J. Bushue · 2015
58/100
👎 Skip It
The bilingual English/Spanish angle targeting American holiday traditions is a practical classroom niche that genuinely needs filling, and the character-costume approach to holiday identification is accessible for young children. However, the dossier found no meaningful critical reception, the series has a low profile, and the limited-to-American-holidays scope narrows its reach. A functional bilingual supplement rather than a memorable book.
