(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Joan Reilly. This updated book provides an introduction to the history and practices of the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony. The author's conversational voice and inclusion of celebrities' anecdotes (some with more kid appeal than others) may attract readers. Metter also highlights groundbreaking figures, such as the first young woman to be a bat mitzvah in 1922. New undistinguished black-and-white pencil illustrations accompany the text. Websites. Bib., ind.
