"Blending humor and rich illustrations, this picture book serves as a delightful introduction to the holiday for young children and a valuable addition to any Jewish library."--Association of Jewish Libraries

In this fifth book of the popular Kayla & Kugel series, Kayla teaches Kugel about celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim. Together they bake triangular, jam-filled cookies called hamataschen, including some doggie-tashen for Kugel. Then they dress in costumes and go to synagogue to hear the story of Queen Esther saving the Jewish people from Haman and his plan to get rid of all the Jewish people. Filled with colorful illustrations, simple language, and Kugel's silly antics, this book is the perfect introduction to Purim.
