From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6-Yolen takes readers through the traditional Jewish calendar year beginning with Rosh Hashanah and ending with the weekly celebration of the Sabbath. The history and most important aspects of the observances are accompanied by evocative poems, traditional songs and stories, and a playlet for Purim. The illustrations and decorations are richly done in warm, lush colors that add to the general festivity. Malka Drucker's Family Treasury of Jewish Holidays (Little, 1994) is more complete, including "new" holidays, such as Yom Hashoah, which commemorates the Holocaust, as well as crafts and recipes. However, the general attractiveness and warmth of Yolen's book, the original poetry, and the clear explanations of the holidays commend it for any collection.

Gr. 4^-6, younger for reading aloud. August's illustrations catch you first: their stark black outlines, inky details, and old-world charm immediately draw the eye. The text is a fine match for them, nicely written, with a bit of speculation here and there or a funny anecdote or telling quote. Beginning with Rosh Hashanah, Yolen outlines the history and practice of the eight most celebrated holidays on the Jewish calendar, then gives readers a taste of the literature. She includes original as well as traditional selections carefully keyed to the celebration--folk tales, poems, plays, and songs, with music scored for guitar and piano. The combination makes her book wonderful for introducing the Jewish holidays to a student group (though source notes are sketchy) and excellent for family sharing. Stephanie Zvirin
