Is It Sukkot Yet?
Without any background information, this title is clearly intended for those who celebrate Sukkot, and they will certainly welcome this lovely, poetic addition that's perfect for sharing aloud.-Rachel Kamin, North Suburban Synagogue Beth El, Highland Park, IL
A simple rhyming text lists signs that Sukkot is coming, including the change in seasons, and the steps of building a sukkah; warm, spacious illustrations show a multiracial family decorating and celebrating. The text encourages excitement about Sukkot and gives plenty of details about the what of the holiday, though readers may need to turn elsewhere for the why.

Leslie Kimmelman's The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzah is a more successful Jewish holiday adaptation of the well-loved folktale.
