Description
Children's Literature What a joyous celebration of Sukkat! Sadie and Ori cannot wait to try out the sukkah their family has built to celebrate the fall holiday. In keeping with the tradition, they plan to eat their meals in the temporary house starting with breakfast. It is obviously early in the morning. Mom and Dad are still asleep so the children set about making breakfast themselves. The balanced breakfast they plan is too heavy to carry to the backyard in one trip, so the children make a series of trips, finally assembling their meal on the table. Their breakfast lacks only one thingguests! It is too early to invite friends or family. However, Sadie comes up with a plan for a celebration with the smiling stuffed animals from the children's room. A short addendum explains the meaning of the holiday, but this is essentially a book about fun and happy children finding the pleasure in sharing their meal with a sibling and "friends." There is the feeling of real excitement comparable to waiting to celebrate a birthday and the illustrations, full of movement and energy, convey children on a mission to have fun and honor the holiday in the way they have been taught. There are not a lot of books on Sukkot, and this is one that will make a wonderful read-aloud for one-on-one sharing or story time use. Reviewer: Lois Rubin Gross
