Each book in this elementary-level multicultural series explores, in a very simple fashion, the foods, words, inventions, toys, games and sports, religions, music, and crafts that a specific country has contributed to the world.Discover the origins of Halloween and St. Patrick's Day, step dancing, the Celtic harp, and the word "trousers." They all came from the Emerald Isle -- and so did the jack-o'-lantern!.
