BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SOME
Kamal loves Fridays because that is when he gets to the masjid that he loves and pray. There he sees his friends, listens to the imam, and tries his best, along with the other children, to learn and participate.
Franklin writes in a cumulative style (similar to the style of The Napping House by Audrey Wood) and includes an author's note about the religion of Islam. " I enjoyed this happy "day-in-the-life" book. It left me wanting to know more about Islam and its practices. I liked that the illustrator showed children behaving like children: being wiggly, opening their eyes during prayer, and trying to escape from parents. Kamal and his family have dark skin. The characters illustrated have varied ethnicities.
