Kayla and Kugel's Jewish Holidays – serie

Kayla teaches her dog Kugel about celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim. In this fifth book of the popular Jewish holiday series, Kayla and Kugel bake triangular, jam-filled cookies called hamataschen, including some doggie-tashen for Kugel. Then they dress in costumes and go to synagogue to hear the story of Queen Esther saving the Jewish people from Haman and his plan to get rid of all the Jewish people. Filled with colorful illustrations, simple language, and Kugel's silly antics, this book is the perfect introduction to Purim.

Kayla and her mischievous dog Kugel prepare for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. In this sixth book of the popular series, gather the apples, honey, and challah needed to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. Oh no! Kugel is covered in honey! He makes a wet mess while splashing splashes in the pond that Kayla will throw breadcrumbs into later in a ritual called taschlich, and howls along as Kayla and her father practice blowing the shofar. It's all okay. Rosh Hashanah is a time to promise to try to do better in the year ahead.This series provides an accessible entrance for young children to learn about the Jewish holidays, with bright and fun illustrations and simple language.“Fans of Kayla and Kugel, as well as libraries . . . may welcome this new addition.” —School Library Journal“Just as perfect as the others.” —Association of Jewish Libraries“Warm and colorful . . . highly recommended.” —Jewish Book Council
