Review quotes

Talia and the Haman-tushies by Linda Elovitz Marshall (Kar-Ben, £6.50). Talia mishears her and thinks edible posteriors are on the menu - yuck! (Parents, be prepared to translate the joke.) As they cook, Grandma tells the Purim story, which is folded into the baking activities as smoothly as sugar into margarine. Francesca Assirelli's illustrations are a joy, especially Grandma, beaming so roundly that the bridge of her specs is stretched to a foot long. Luckily, the tushie misunderstanding is cleared up in time for Talia to taste the hamantaschen. Giggles guaranteed for ages three to five.—The Jewish Chronicle
