Used First Printing Softcover published by Scholastic, N.Y., 1995 in Very Good Condition. The name of the previous owner is written neatly on the inside cover. Some wear along the cover's & text's corners but minor. Text is clean and unmarked with no rips, tears, creases, loose or bent pages. There is a crease on the back cover near the spine though. Spine is firm. A great book to introduce young children to the traditions of Kwanzaa. I have used this book in Childcare Centers and children who don't even celebrate the Holiday get into it! Author Pinkney has done a wonderful job with explaining the traditions behind Kwanzaa and illustrator Brian Pinkney provides appealing illustrations. This is a Winner for anyone with young children.
