Barnyard Purim

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara Johansen Newman. When Farmer Max leaves for a Purim play, his barnyard animals have their own show. After director Chicken assigns the parts, the play begins, though an unexpected visit from a fox--a real-life evil Haman--threatens the production. This slight story, accompanied by spirited illustrations, does little to educate readers about Purim, though they'll get a sense of the characters' personalities.
