Sound the Shofar!: A Story for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur

24 pp. | HarperCollins | August, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-06-027501-4 $$12.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Himmelman. An extended family celebrates the Days of Awe. Information about the ceremonies and traditions of both home and synagogue are featured as is the family's pride in Uncle Jake, who will blow the shofar at synagogue to signal the beginning and end of the holiday. Although the text is a bit syrupy, the watercolors are crisply executed and friendly in tone, and the author's note is particularly strong.
