I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.

My Review: A book ideal for the lap-reader who needs a bit of pattern-recognition practice. It's the Where's Waldo? of the Yuletide. The holiday theme can woo the excited kid to settle in and enjoy some carefully hidden good-for-them knowledge acquisition.






The fun little facts about the countries will give the reader a chance to sneak in some education, or can be left asife if the kid's squirmy...the illustrations are, i think, just right to keep a lap-reader engaged but not overstimulated.

On St. Nicholas Night, the tree goes up, the mugs of hot chocolate magically appear, and a big, warm lap beckons after all that excitement...perfect time to find Santa around the world. show less

I’m a little surprised to find myself reviewing a blank journal, but I am so thoroughly impressed by the format I felt I had to say something. This journal is divided into separate sections for each trip. Every section follows the same outline: some pages for planning the trip, some pages for taking notes during the journey (perhaps as a diary), and some pages to reflect once the trip is over. The planning and reflection pages have specific prompts to guide the writing, and there is plenty show more of space for free expression. Inspirational quotes are icing on the cake. By offering such a framework, this journal provides a fantastic way to organize one’s thoughts and preserve the memories. show less

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have had a Thai exchange student spend a year with us. And come back, along with her family, for further visits. One of the best perks of having her live with us was her incredible ability as a chef. She made us so many delicious meals! From the dishes of her Bangkok home, to ones from her ancestral home near Chang Mai, we experienced dishes and flavors that were completely unknown to us. AND...when we would visit local Thai restaurants, she would order show more off the "special" menu that seemed to be available to native Thai speakers...and with the instruction that the food be prepared not in the "American way" (sweet) but in the authentic Thai way.
Anyway, since she has been gone we really miss her, and her cooking. I was really surprised when I received this ARC, as it reignited our memories of many of the dishes she prepared. The book is well written, very well photographed, and easy to follow. It has a wide variety of recipes. We have tried several already.
We have shared photos of our dishes with our Thai student via video chat, and she has given her stamp of approval. What better endorsement of a cookbook could one possibly ask for! show less
