The Uninvited Guest and Other Jewish Holiday Tales |
Elivia's bright, flowing artwork, in a rainbow of colors,
reflects both the magic and the joy of the seven splendid
Jewish holiday tales simply and beautifully retold here.
From an original story in which a magician's spell
makes adults forget how to celebrate Sukkot to a
humorous yarn about two of the residents of the
silly town of Chelm, the tales--one each for Shabbat,
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, Sukkot,
Passover, and Purim--are dramatic, fabulous, clever,
and magical, and each reflects the message or spirit of
the holiday as deftly discussed in Jaffe's story introductions.
In a separate chapter, Jaffe thoroughly explains her sources
and includes by-the-by information on the tales. She also
provides a helpful glossary, with pronunciation guidance,
that will be wonderful for young readers as well as teachers
who want to explore Jewish culture in more depth. A
bibliography and a list of recommended reading titles
will help kids further pursue their interest.

Below the frame is a listing of events that happened that
month. Major holidays earn an additional two-page spread (Passover
shows Moses leading a chortling band of costumed characters
across the desert).
