Toby Belfer and the High Holy Days

32 pp. | Pelican | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 1-56554-765-9 $$14.95
(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.
