Mimi's First Mardi Gras

Good book to explain about Mardi Gras experience

I bought this book for good kid friendly story explaining Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday to a 5 year old. The book was great and the child was entrigued no doubt! Colorful pages with great illustrations. I learned some things too! I recommed it to anyone wanting to teach a child. She was so excited for her King Cake on Fat Tuesday!

This was my favorite book from a kid growing up in New Orleans and now I can pass it down to my kids and nieces. Beautiful illustrations and story.

Cute book about Mardi Gras, including lots of the traditions. A little too long and detailed for 4 year olds, but able to be paraphrased, so I'm happy with it.

This is an excellent book to use in the classroom about Mardi Gras. I had to paraphrase for my Pre-K's but this would be very appropriate for a first or second grade read aloud.

Beautiful illustrations. Sweet story. Great read

Great book for children for an overview about Mardi Gras. Great pictures with the bright Mardi Gras colors. For those who don't know about Mardi Gras, this is a good book to tell the story about what Mardi Gras is all about, even down to the beignets, (doughnuts) that are part of the Louisiana culture.

My daughter received this book of her first Mardi Gras and we have shared it as we have moved around the country with her classes. Bought a copy for a friend's son so hopefully the tradition will continue. Great book!!

The book is a bit long but it has some nice pictures. I used it to explain Mardi Gras to my daughter's class and they enjoyed it.
