Editorial Review

“Izzy the Whiz and Passover McClean (Kar-Ben, $7.95) is written for slightly older children, ages 3–8, but also has an infectious energy and sense of fun. Written in rhyme, it celebrates the ingenuity of Izzy, an amateur inventor, who creates a machine to clean the house for Passover. Though the machine goes a little haywire, ingenious Izzy knows what to do and everything comes out fine in the end. This entertaining tale was written by Israeli Yael Mermelstein and illustrated by Carrie Hartman.” —Jewish Woman
