Review:
Esther and Ezra are busy baking challah for families to eat at their Shabbat dinners. When the challah is ready Jacob and his horse Soosie go around the town with their wagon loaded to deliver fresh challah to the people. The cobblestone roads echo with the clip-clop of Soosie’s hooves. Up and down the streets they go greeting the many customers. The next day Jacob was ill. Esther and Ezra worried their delicious challah would not be delivered to the families. Jacob knew Soosie could take the wagon on the route. What do you think Soosie did?
This delightful story of friendship and Jewish culture is perfect for reading during Shabbat. Easy to read sentences and colorful illustrations will keep young readers engaged. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to teach kindness to others and caring for animals.
