"I enjoyed learning about this culture. I will rate this book a ⅗ because it was a little boring and it made me want to stop reading, but it was really cool to learn about the culture of Diwalli, to be honest I didn’t know Diwalli was a culture. This book was about what these people did on this special day and what they ate, these people mostly ate sweets on this day. On Diwalli you could make a lantern then let it drift into the sky. You can also make a little table full of your passed on family members favorite food and a picture of them, you would do this to tell your family member to come and be with you and to visit others."

"Lights, food, dancing, all in the extravagance of Diwali. I think this book had great information about this wonderful Indian holiday, it was presented very well too. I love the bright colours and pictures in the book! When they say festival of lights, they mean lights! I rate this book a ⅘ for its amazing content and recommend it to those who like lots of pictures in their books. One thing I enjoy about this book is how they use pictures to get you to almost feel the over the top experience of Diwali it almost made me feel like I was there, it made me happy just to read the book."

"I really liked this book. I would rate it a ⅘. It has lots of really neat illustrations. My favourite picture on p.79 about how Singapore celebrates Diwali. Diwali is an Indian celebration that occurs on the darkest night of the month. They get lights, fireworks and a lot more and light up the streets at night. Diwali has travelled from India to Thailand to Trinidad and Tobago to U.K, and a lot more regions all around the world. It would be cool seeing them light up their lights during the night, the colours would probably be really neat to see. Diwali has been an Indian tradition for so long. In the book it shows everybody’s prespection on Diwali, how they celebrate it, why they love it, which lights are their favourite and a whole lot more. I really liked this book about Diwali. And I would recommend this book to anybody who likes learning about different cultures and history."

"I personally think that this book was not the best but not the worst book ever. The main thing I liked about this book was that it told some neat real stories about places in India that celebrate Diwali. The main thing I didn’t really like about this book was about some of the legends, personally I kinda thought that some of them were kinda boring and that there is 1 or 2 too many of these stories. I would give this book a ⅗ rating because I enjoyed reading about other communities and places and how they celebrate Diwali. I would recommend this book to people who like to read about legends and culture. I think this book was not bad and that you may want to read it."

"This was a very interesting book. It was so cool that I got to read about all of these different cultures. The thing that I like about this book the most it has cooking instructions inside of it. If I was to rate this book it would be a ⅘ the reason it is a ⅘ is because I learned so many cultures and what kind of food they ate. I would recommend this book to people who like to cook or learn about cultures of the world. I really liked this book if I had second chance I would read it again."

"I thought this book was ok. I love to learn about other people's culture. I think this book is ok, one of my favourite parts are the lights they are a beautiful thing I would love to see it in person. I would rate this book 2.5/5. Some parts in the book where hard to get into but when I was in the middle it got easier as I got farther into the book. The front cover looked very beautiful with the lights, elephants and food that looks very delicious. I would recommend this book for our class."

"I never knew about Diwali until I read this wonderful book. In my opinion I love to learn about different people's cultures and beliefs. So when I started to read about Diwali I was fascinated by all of the traditions around the holiday. My favourite part was how so many people celebrated Diwali in so many different ways. Yet it still meant one thing. Even poor countries that didn’t have enough money to have the lights on, had the government foot the bill. Even though I don’t know everything about Diwali I still see it as a very kind holiday. The only thing I didn’t like was how there was very difficult to pronounce words with no brackets showing you how. If it had that then it would make it even more interesting to read then it already was. Overall I enjoyed reading about Diwali and I would recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in reading about different kinds of celebrations."
