A mother, father, and three young children in a typical Jewish family celebrate their most important holidays in the attractively illustrated Festival Time books, which speak not only to Jewish children but to boys and girls of all faiths. Purim is a time of merriment, and this family celebrates by dressing the kids in homemade biblical costumes, giving gifts of food, and going to a party. At the reading of the Megillah, the children make merry noises to drown out the name of Haman, the evil advisor to the Persian king. Haman is described in the Book of Esther as the man who was foiled in his plot to murder Persia�s Jewish population. (Ages 3�7)
