The text begins with locating the country and defining the term Spaniards, followed by a spread that lists the holidays by season. The easy-to-read text uses bold print to denote glossary words. Each holiday is presented with at least a one page spread. The illustrations, which are primarily photographs, bring to life the rich culture of the Spain. Several easy to make crafts, with a list of materials and step-by-step instructions, are included. Glossary, index, bibliography.
