(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Emile Henriquez. While on a class trip, Toby and her friend Donna visit Yad Vashem, Jerusalem's Holocaust History Museum.

Although the writing is bland and the story frame artificial, the true histories of these brave people, shown in black-and-white sketches, will hold readers' attention. Bib., glos.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Judith Hierstein. In the fourth book about Toby, she spends an afternoon explaining the meaning and practice of the Jewish High Holy Days to a non-Jewish friend. Although Pushker emphasizes information over story and the figures depicted in the artwork are awkward, the book covers a lot of territory smoothly and clearly. A recipe for honey cake is included.
