The Kugel Valley Klezmer Band By Joan Betty Betty Stuchner |
Stuchner (A Peanut Butter Waltz) spins a satisfying small-town story whose endearing, old-fashioned quality is captured equally effectively by Canadian artist Row's lifelike watercolor paintings. Even more than their renowned noodle pudding (or "kugel"), the residents of Canada's Kugel Valley take pride in their klezmer band, a traveling trio that plays at dances, weddings and bar mitzvahs around the countryside. Since Shira, the 10-year-old daughter of the group's clarinet player, longs to play the fiddle, her idol is Isaac, another member of the band and "the finest fiddle player this side of Nova Scotia." The kind man gives her a homemade toy fiddle, along with some time-honored advice: "Practice, practice, practice." And that she does, playing her fiddle faithfully in the privacy of the forest, imitating the music she has heard Isaac play for years. The denouement hardly comes as a surprise when Isaac comes down with a cold, Shira fills in for him at a Hanukkah party and wows the revelers. Mellifluous storytelling and nostalgic yet accessible, animated artwork bring just the right measure of warmth and sentiment to give this tale relevance for today's readers.

Few things light up our interest more than a party. In fact, celebrations form some of our earliest and most vivid impressions of the world. Candle Time shares those experiences.

Candle Talk By Barbara Birenbaum |
Kindl is a walking, talking symbol of light whose adventures are a blend of historical fact or legend. As Kindl meets events like Groundhog Day, of the symbolic Statue of Liberty and the Olympic torch, he comes away with a deeper understanding of their significance. It's almost as though Kindl is in search of trivia about the events as much as having a good time. These adventures follow the 3E's to Reading: Education, Entertainment and Enjoyment with many books having music as well as stories based on events.
Candle Talk finds Kindl tumbling into a Hanukkah adventure. He meets up with talking, animated candles that are eager to take part in the eight day festival of Hanukkah. But Kindl only wants to watch it! He learns the story of Hanukkah from the candles. But, the talking menorah has a difficult time convincing him of his importance in this special celebration. As he looks forward to this eight day Festival of Lights, Kindl gives a meaning to each night of light. Night after night he sits in awe, sharing his love with the other candles and wondering what happens when and if he meets the Shammas. Sheet music - Eight Lights of Hanukkah, tells the story in melody and verse. |
