A young girl relates all the preparation and events for her sister’s wedding. An interesting look at Amish wedding traditions and customs. An Amish Wedding is a story told from the perspective of a young girl whose sister is getting married. Through the narrative, the reader learns facts about Amish custom especially customs surrounding weddings. I thought the narrative of the book was uninteresting. What I did like about the book was the facts presented about Amish customs. I thought that portion of the book was quite interesting especially since I do not like near Amish people and are unaware of their practices. An Amish Wedding, by Richard Ammon is a book specialized in certain aspects of the Amish, or Pennsylvania Dutch culture. The narrator is a young girl who is watching the preparations for her sister’s wedding. The story would appeal to any younger sibling who is in the same situation. However, the book includes many aspects of a culture with which most young children are probably unaware. I have been to Amish country four times, and even I found this story informative. The book talks about what foods the Amish prepare for a wedding supper, when weddings are held, and explains many different parts of the wedding ceremony. The Amish dress is discussed, and well illustrated in the pictures by Pamela Patrick. Important details are mentioned, such as the Amish do no wear jewelry, so no rings are exchanged, that Amish men wear beards when they are married, and unmarried Amish girls wear black bonnets, while married women wear white bonnets. Some of the Pennsylvania Dutch language is used and defined in the story. My favorite part of the ceremony was when the narrator places a broom on the floor, and the bride walks over it, symbolizing her change from maid to homemaker. It is important for children to recognize that all cultures have their ceremony, costume and ways of doing things, and just because they are different, they are not wrong. Children can make connections between their culture and the cultures of others through books such as this one. Two Stars. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
