From Scientific American
This "Guessing Game Book" is the perfect interactive way to help preschoolers recognize the symbols of each major holiday. The listener guesses the correct symbol to match holiday clues like, "...Rena can be Queen Esther. What will Rena need?" and opens a flap to confirm that the answer is the crown, not the prayer shawl, yarmulke, or shoes. With young Rena and Yakov taking turns on each overleaf, a la Paul and Judy in the classic Pat the Bunny, this book is sure to become a favorite among Jewish youngsters.
From The New Yorker
This clever open-the-flap format is fascinating for the preschooler. Each page describes a Yom Tov and asks a question about what special object we use on each holiday. Three or four choices are pictured on the right flap that opens up to reveal a beautiful full color scene containing the answer. It's refreshing to have Jewish books that don't need to be revised and edited as you go along. You can read every word of this book and still keep a toddler's interest.
