From School Library Journal:
Grade 1-3-- A pleasant, beginning-chapter book of quiet stories for Jewish holidays (surprisingly, none for Yom Kippur) that feature the Berg family and their neighbor, Mr. Yomtov. Although a glossary is provided, not all of the terms are included, so the audience for the book is limited to children familiar with the holidays and their traditions. Informative but not didactic, the book offers a much-needed perspective on an average Jewish family's year, as measured by the cadence of their holidays. Unfortunately, the illustrations are static and unimpressive. --Marcia Posner, Federation of New York and the Jewish Book Council, New York City
