CHALLAH AND LATKES Stories for Shabbat and Hanukkah

Cindy Marshall serves up a seven-course feast of stories interspersed with music, celebrating the Sabbath (on side one) and Hanukkah (on side two). This is a nice collection of stories from traditional sources, as well as original works. Marshall's knack for storytelling will enchant children, as well as their parents. She delivers a lively, well-paced narrative and masterfully alters her voice to distinguish her characters. Punctuating the stories are clarinet and violin solos and songs performed by Marshall. The package comes with brief, informative liner notes that provide story sources and a glossary of Jewish terms. S.E.S. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 00]
