A shul fair comes to town, and the children of the town discover what makes different shuls unique and what each shul has in common with all others around the world. The book teaches readers that a shul is always special. The illustrations are done in airbrush; they cover the whole page and are very colorful. The back of the book includes photographs of the fifteen shuls and asks readers can find these shuls in the illustrated pictures in the book. Leibel Fajnland is a rabbi and has written one other children’s book. This book was written primarily for the Orthodox community, but it has something to say to every Jewish child. Recommended for ages 4 – 8.
