(4) PS Illustrated by Helen Poole. For each letter of the alphabet, this picture book introduces a Passover-themed concept and poses a rhymed question about it; the accompanying illustration provides multiple-choice options or a related puzzle. Ordering the elements alphabetically (for a holiday that's very much concerned with chronological order) makes the text disjointed, though it's useful as review for readers already familiar with Passover.

(4) PS Illustrated by Helen Poole. "It's Hanukkah from A to Z / An alphabet of things to see." Rhyming couplets loosely describe Hanukkah's story and traditions, from King Antiochus to bedtime "Zzzzzzzzz." The format is too constrained to impart significant information about the holiday, but kids will get a cursory introduction. Bright illustrations featuring pink-cheeked, Rugrats-looking children playing with dreidels and making latkes accompany the text.
