Toddler-PreS–A celebration of the many ways to enjoy challah, from the creators of Apples, Apples, All Year Round. In a rhyming text, a group of forest animals enjoy eating their challah in many ways: with honey, at a picnic, as part of Jewish Shabbat traditions, and as delicious French toast. The collage-style art is colorful and cheerful. The sparse black text and bright illustrations stand out against a white background, making it a great choice for a read-aloud.
VERDICT A quick yet joyous read, this is a sweet addition to libraries looking to expand any inclusive picture book section.
