Nice Look At Most of the Jewish Holidays, September 13, 2004
This review is from: Hillel Builds a House (Paperback)
Hillel is a boy who loves to build houses. It does not matter if it is a treehouse, a tent, a house costume or even just a picture, Hillel is determined to build a house that he can use during the Jewish holidays.
The story starts with Chanukah but Hillel is not allowed to light his menorah in a cardboard house because of the risk of fire. And so it goes. Each holiday there is some reason he can not use his house. But at the end of the book, the holiday of Sukhot, a holiday just perfect for building houses.
The book touches on most of the Jewish holidays but some are skipped over during the story. But still, it is a nice look at many holidays and not just a book for Sukhot (although it is especially appropriate).
My only problem was with the artwork. I did not like the drawings of the father (neither did my wife). Otherwise check this one out.
