Summary: This book walks us through the traditions of Mardi Gras in the southern United States and all over the world.

Personal Reactions: Mardi Gras has a special place in my heart because New Orleans is my favorite place in the world. I love learning more about the holiday and educating others as well. I was curious about how this book would address the holiday, because now when people think of Mardi Gras, they think of wild parties. All in all, I think this is a book to add to my collection!

Classroom Extensions: 1. Celebrate Mardi Gras! Make a King's Cake and decorate masks.

2. When learning about the history of the south, adding in this book could make it fun too. ( )
