"Sammy Spider does double duty in these two colorful board books by introducing the youngest of readers to Jewish holiday customs, while reinforcing concepts of colors and shapes. In Sammy Spider's Hanukkah Colors, Sammy watches the Shapiro family carrying out Hanukkah traditions, such as lighting the yellow menorah, eating brown latkes, and spinning a purple dreidel. In Sammy Spider's Passover Shapes, as the Shapiros prepare for the holiday, Sammy spins webs of different shapes that mimic the shapes he sees in Passover: a square like a piece of matzah, a circle like the seder plate, and triangles like the afikomen. Sammy's final product reveals itself as a Star of David. The spare text along with Kahn's distinct, collaged illustrations will inform and delight, and are sure to become staples for the youngest readers." - Association of Jewish Libraries.
