Not so sure about this book, as it raises a whole lot more questions than it answers. Especially with a couple pages dedicated to the male and female circumcision aspects of certain festivals. While I agree that these festivals are important and the entire book is very interesting, suddenly I was faced with my children looking up at me and asking just what circumcision was - and while my son had some idea he was baffled with how a girl can be circumcised.

So...if you're using this book with your kids be prepared for lots of questions.
