Terwilliger, Kelly. Barnyard Purim, illustrated by Barbara Johansen Newman. $7.95 Content: G. PICTURE BOOK. This book celebrates a Jewish holiday known as Purim. The holiday celebrates the Biblical story in the book of Esther. In this picture book, the barnyard animals dress up and perform a play recounting the story of Esther and Mordechai and their efforts to save the Jewish people. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to tell a biblical story in the classroom, but if so, this is a cute way of doing so. The illustrations are wonderful, fun and exciting. The story is told in an intriguing and interesting way. There is a sly fox that makes the ending exciting. Pre-K. EL (K-3). OPTIONAL. Reviewer: SL.
