Our Review
We’ve been Ilyas and Duck fans since the first book came out, so this review may be a teeny tiny bit biased. My kids absolutely adore Duck and love his silly expressions.
This book is one of our top three Ramadan favs, and gets picked up a lot throughout the year and not just in Ramadan (which is indicative of how great it is!). The illustrations are fantastic and probably why this book is loved so much! It’s a pretty “comprehensive” Ramadan book for kids that covers how we fast, why we fast, how fasting benefits you, what you’re not supposed to do during Ramadan, highlights positive character traits (compassion, taqwa, patience, good habits, and health) and briefly mentions the last ten nights. Plus it has more facts and tidbits at the end in the form of an interesting newspaper clipping. Yes it has ALL this, and yet it’s NOT preachy! Plus it also includes super villains and sheriffs! This is a unique FUN and educational book, and a “must have” for your kids library.
Plus follow @ilyasandduck because they usually have Ramadan events going on for kids!
