K'tonton's Sukkot Adventure - Tapa dura

"Contemporary expressions have been substituted for outdated ones, and the tempo has been picked up. In other words, K'tonton has been much improved [since the original publication], but the main elements of the story and of the holiday remain. The witty, expressive pen-and-ink sketches add to the book's appeal."-Marcia Posner, the Jewish Book Council -- Marcia Posner Federation of New York and the Jewish Book Council, New York City
