I didn't know much about Purim but teach multi-cultural holidays so I wanted to learn more about it. This is the only book I found that described the holiday clearly for a novice like me and had a key so I could learn how to pronounce some difficult names. I recommend this book for the classroom and at home.

I have bought several books from this series for use with my Toddlers. While it's true that the series is intended as simple, self-directed reading for 4-8 year olds, the bright photos and easily understood text makes paraphrasing or straight-forward reading doable for younger children who love books (as our kids do- I regularly spend half an hour or more being sat on & reading requests- not exactly painful!)The books always provide comprehensive info so they're perfect for allowing teachers to learn about holidays with their children. I am especially grateful for this series because they cover international, multiple ethnic and religious holidays; with them, I can reflect the diversity of my classroom and foster appreciation and awareness in my kids right from the start!
