Customer Reviews

gentle, low-key stories about the Jewish holidays

I love the way these stories are gentle, but not so conflict-free as to be boring. They manage to convey a lot of information about the holidays, too, in a fun, low-key way. The illustrations couldn't be more charming. Best of all, children actually like them! I read "Beni's New Year" to a group of 5-7-year-olds this weekend, and they all SAT STILL and LISTENED, believe it or not, asking me to stop only so they could see the pictures.

Excellent children's stories for the jewish holidays

Beautiful illustrations enhance the quality of these charming stories surrounding the jewish holidays. Great for toddlers through elementary age children. Our Pre-school Rabbi read exerpts of Goldie's Purim during a recent tot shabbat. It was a big hit!! Highly recommend this book.
