Behrman House Inc.,U.S. The Royal Recipe: A Purim Story
Book SynopsisNamed a 'BEST BOOK of 2023' by School Library Journal!An Association of Jewish Libraries "Holiday Highlights" Title for Spring 2023!"Will enhance multicultural literature collections of early reader chapter books" --School Library Journal"The high points of the Purim holiday are here in this amusing series addition" --Kirkus ReviewsSaralee Siegel has a superpower. She has used it more than once to save the day for her family's restaurant. But sometimes things don't turn out quite the way she expects. That's the problem with magic. Join Saralee in the fourth book of this magical series and see how a mysterious party planner tries to upset Saralee's holiday plans for Purim.A unique beginning reader chapter book with Purim as its theme.Trade ReviewBeginning reader chapter books that feature Jewish holidays are unique; Rubenstein has created an ongoing series of these.This one is about Purim, the biblical account in which Queen Esther saved the lives of Persian Jews whom Haman, King Ahasuerus’s evil vizier, had ordered to be exterminated. Saralee Siegal, a 10-year-old kid with a secret weapon—her “super-nose,” which can smell “so much more than the ordinary”—uses her gift to save her family from Haman, whom she has accidentally conjured up from the ancient past. Haman, now known as Herman, plots to take over the Siegal family’s Purim celebration by permanently replacing Saralee as her grandfather’s executive assistant at the family’s restaurant, Siegel House. Naalchigar’s black-and- white drawings enhance the plot, and several “ingredients only” recipes are scattered throughout. The only recipe that gives readers an exact explanation is for Hamantashen, the triangular cookies that long ago were named for Haman and his three-cornered hat. The cookies play a smelly yet important role in helping Saralee thwart the Haman’s mean plot. VERDICT This book is likely to be enjoyed more by young readers who are already familiar with Jewish traditions than those who are not. However,the unique theme of Purim will enhance multicultural literature collections of early reader chapter booksand should be considered as a worthwhile purchase.–Cheryl Blevens, School Library Journal *AJL Spring 2023 Holiday Highlights Title* Saralee Siegel and her super-nose return for a fourth story, this time about the holiday of Purim.;Zaide is getting the Seigel House restaurant ready for a big Purim bash, while Saralee is trying her best to come up with the perfect hamantaschen recipe, but every time she tries, they taste all wrong, and odd newcomers magically appear. People like Herman, the new party coordinator, who is not very nice, and a lot like someone in the Purim story....This delightful early chapter book will have readers cheering for Saralee as she stands up for herself, defeats Haman, and resumes her place at Zaide's side. --Association of Jewish Libraries In her latest series outing, a 10-year-old Jewish girl has big plans for Purim.With her “super-nose,” Saralee, her grandfather’s executive assistant at their family restaurant, can identify the ingredients of any dish with just a whiff. The Siegel House Restaurant is planning a special Purim celebration, with historical costumes and décor, and, in order to make hamantashen with the exact ingredients used in the original Purim story, Saralee will draw on her special talent. Her entire family helps out with preparations—Zadie, Bubbie, Aunt Bean and Aunt Lottie, Uncle Sam, and even Saralee’s younger cousin, Josh (Saralee’s parents aren’t mentioned)—but a party coordinator has also been hired…one who wears fancy robes and has a strangely deep knowledge of ancient Persia. Saralee’s suspicion grows as he usurps her role and becomes closer to her beloved Zadie. She realizes that her fantastic nasal power is magically bringing aspects of the ancient story to life—could the stranger be Haman, the evil royal adviser who in the story of Purim wanted to destroy the Jews?Slowly revealing the holiday’s origins, Saralee’s energetic first-person narrative story about her eccentric, loving family offers a different approach to one of the most joyous Jewish festivals. The humorous grayscale illustrations show major characters as light-skinned, with some tonal variations.Baking, celebrating, storytelling: The high points of the Purim holiday are here in this amusing series addition.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Mary Slessor: Servant to the Slave
Book Synopsis Mary Slessor grew up in the slums of Dundee in the 1800’s. Industry was booming but housing was sub– standard and life expectancy was low. Illness, disease and malnutrition killed many children before they reached the age of five. Mary was lucky – born into a poor family, abused by her father – she was still alive. Dundee was Mary’s training ground for a far fiercer battle. Mary left the shores of Scotland while only in her early twenties to immerse herself in reaching the lost tribes of Calibar in West Africa. Her preparation in the slums of Dundee was the key ingredient to her success on the mission field – that and her tireless trust and belief in her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He was the reason she was there. Calibar today still remembers Mary Slessor, affectionately known as “Ma”, her influence on that area of Africa was astounding. Superstition demanded that families kill twin babies and murder slaves and women at funerals – the Lord Jesus Christ that Mary Slessor brought to these people set them free from all that. They were set free from the law of sin and death. Trade ReviewIf you like this you'll love this:Ten girls who changed the world by Irene Howat includes a chapter on Mary Slessor.

It is insightful and beautifully written by one who truly understands the teenage journey and all the emotions along the way.

I cared deeply for her, even as she raged against her situation and made mistakes - then I rejoiced as she reflected, understood and matured.This engaging first novel reflects the complications of family life, the shock reactions to sudden change, and the challenges of navigating a confusing and complicated world. It has an underlying wisdom that will resonate with those reading it, whatever their age.' -- Kay Benbow, children's media specialist

Behrman House Inc.,U.S. What's in Tuli's Box?
Book Synopsis"Charming" --Jewish Book CouncilA kitten learns opposites such as light and heavy, empty and full while also finding out about helping others through the Jewish concept of giving tzedakah.Fun reading sessions! Young children will love helping turn the book to keep up with kitty's exploration.Trade Review"This is such a cute book and a perfect introduction to little ones learning about the importance of Tzedakah, or charitable giving. It's never too early to introduce the importance of helping others, and this book, with its adorable illustrations and sparse text, does this beautifully. I highly recommend it. --Ellen Levanthal, Writing Outside the Lines"With beautiful illustrations and sparse text, author/illustrator Ann D. Koffsky brings the reader Tuli, an adorable cat who is curious about why a box is empty, then full, then empty again. Koffsky gently introduces the concept of tzedekah, or giving charity, and the idea that even small children can do good deeds, like collecting coins, to help others in need. A must-read for homes, schools, and libraries." --Melissa Stoller, author of The Enchanted Snow Globe series, and Sadie's Shabbat Stories."Ann Koffsky's adorable "What's in Tuli's Box" (2022) highlights one of my favorite things that we start teaching in Jewish preschool classrooms on Fridays, before Shabbat: giving tzedakah, the commandment to help the needy. .. In the book, curious kitten Tuli wonders what the box she has found is for, and through the subtle use of linguistic opposites, she learns about filling it with coins, from light to heavy, and using it to help those in need. A sweet, beautiful book for any toddler or preschool library." --Jennifer Starkman, Noodlenutskidsbooks"In this charming picture book for young children, Ann D. Koffsky presents the concept of tzedakah through the characters of a kitten and her mother. With kinetic images and bright colors, children learn that a simple box provides not only an opportunity to climb and play, but is also a means to contribute to charity. The book’s simple text mimics the way a child learns from her parents about an important mitzvah.For parents and caregivers considering the most effective way to introduce the concept, Tuli the kitten provides one answer: concrete experiences and few abstractions. Tuli is as active as a toddler, and just as focused on exploring her world. Koffsky begins with Tuli becoming interested in a box labeled tzedakah. Neither this nor its slit for depositing a coin means anything to her. Through touching, pushing, and listening, she discovers the box’s physical qualities, while her mother offers more information. The box is not a toy, she comes to find, although the clinking sound of a coin dropping would seem to suggest that it is.Koffsky combines feline and human characteristics with subtle humor. While the characters look like real cats, their facial expressions of curiosity and affection, coupled with the mother’s purple pocketbook, add a different visual element to the story. Gentle explanations from Tuli’s mother confirm what the kitten has learned, but also extend the possibilities. Tuli is finally ready to hear that the coins are meant to help those in need. As mother and child rest their heads against one another, young readers finish the book with a sense of satisfaction. Tuli’s energetic activity has become a path to empathy, and to the reward of her mother’s pride and love." --Emily Schneider, Jewish Book Council
