(2) PS Illustrated by Monica Gutierrez. "On the first night of Hanukkah, / what did Barnyard Bubbe see? / One sack of meal. / 'Oh, my. Who has left this for me?'" A hoof in the illustration and a neigh hint at the answer; on the next night, two cups of oil are left with an oink. Illustrations give way to the cheerful reveal: the whole menagerie enjoying Bubbe's latkes. The pattern in this counting board book invites noisy participation.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mónica Gutierrez. Little Red Rosie is baking challah for Rosh Hashanah, and Toucan, Parrot, and Hornbill enthusiastically offer to help with every step (unlike the characters in the story's presumed inspiration, "The Little Red Hen"). The text, in which Rosie patiently encourages the birds, is tedious and saccharine, but the bright illustrations add humor by showing Rosie's well-meaning helpers making a huge mess.
