An Amish Wedding
Grade 1-4-A fictionalized account of a wedding in an Amish community. The story is told by the younger sister of Anna, the bride-to-be, and follows all the activities, customs, and rituals associated with the event. The author includes a few phrases in German that add to the cultural flavor of the narrative. The realistic illustrations are colorful and attractive, with the text on the opposite page surrounded by a quilt-like design border. This informative title can be used when comparing cultures within the United States, and also when discussing wedding traditions.Susan Knell, Pittsburgh State University, Pittsburgh, KSCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
