PS
In this series entry, human Kayla and dog Kugel bake hamantaschen, dress up as each other, and attend the megillah reading. Kayla’s explanations of the holiday, directed toward Kugel, are informative (if brief, especially about the Purim story) and interspersed with humorous asides. The community’s costumes are a highlight of the lively illustrations. An author’s note encourages discussion about Purim.
