Reviews
PreS-Gr. 2. In this variation of "The House That Jack Built," a young boy describes the sukkah that he assembled. Successive verses describe the ladder, hammer, nails, boards, poles, and branches he uses to create this outdoor eating booth, which will be used by his family during the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. Colorful, humorous illustrations also show the child's family and leave little doubt that they all helped with the construction. Vorst's simple, rhyming text is just the right length for wiggly young religious-school audiences, and it offers both enough basic vocabulary and information to help young children understand the topic. A glossary and more details about this festival are useful additions to a fine choice for religious school collections and for other libraries with a demand for books on Sukkoth. Kay Weisman
