Reviews
"A resourceful
big sister and helpful little brother set up breakfast in the
family's newly decorated Sukkah and figure out a way to quietly
enjoy it with some good friends while parents sleep.
Early risers on this Sukkot morning, Sadie and Ori are very
excited, but they know they must not wake their parents. Admiring
their decorative handiwork on the Sukkah they built last night,
the siblings decide to bring breakfast out to the festive hut.
Working together, they prepare a tray:
--"Sadie got the cereal. / Ori got the spoons. / Ori got
the bowls. / Sadie got the milk." And when juice, challah
rolls, cups and napkins make the tray too heavy, then--"Sadie
got the juice. / Ori got the cups. / Ori got the napkins. /
Sadie got the challah rolls,"
each bringing an item out to the Sukkah table, setting up "an
elegant breakfast." Seeking to complete the experience
with the required invited guests for this holiday meal, Sadie
and Ori fill seats at their Sukkah table with a menagerie of
favorite stuffed animal friends. Lively, colorful illustrations
depict these independently capable preschoolers performing tasks
with active joy, care and assurance, deftly matching the unadorned,
sprightly text.
Blessings
abound for the autumnal holiday, with these happy kids and (behind
the scenes) grateful parents."

Weekly
Sadie and her little brother Ori awaken early the morning of
Sukkot, the Jewish holiday celebrating the fall harvest. The
two have decorated an outdoor sukkah, or harvest booth, and
decide to eat breakfast there, a meal the pajama-ed siblings
slowly assemble. Then they invite some faithful friends who
don't mind waking up early to share their feast. Korngold, a
rabbi with an eclectic career, writes her first children's book,
and it has a playful sensibility and nice pacing. Fortenberry's
soft colors and lines include details that visually pop. The
book charmingly teaches a lesson about a holiday and its observance,
and is appropriate for religious education as well as family
reading time. Ages 2-6. (Sept.)
