Just days before the Purim holiday, Jacob and Sarah respond to an urgent cry for help and find themselves on a remarkable adventure in the muddled and mixed-up land of Purimville, where something has mysteriously gone awry. In a world full of tasty hamantashen, marvelous costumes, and very noisy graggers, the two children must rely on their wits and courage in order to solve the troubles facing Purimville. A humorous fantasy and adventure story accompanied by engaging illustrations, this nontraditional tale will teach children about Purim symbols and lore and the value of believing in their own strengths and abilities.

The heroes of the story are Jacob and Sarah. They are getting ready to enjoy the celebration of Purim when they begin to notice that things are starting to go seriously wrong. Food that should be delicious, isn't. And costumes that were picked out with care, have been transformed into some unattractive garb. And it soon becomes apparent that Sarah and Jacob are going to have search out the source of this trouble and stop it.
THE SKINNY:::
A well written story, Purimville is going to appeal to children from Preschool on up to about age 8 or 9. It's a colorful, entertaining adventure that sneaks in some teaching too. I love how Karen Fisman explains the history of Purim and outlines what children should expect. This is particular useful for very young children who might be 'surprised' by the noise from the rattles and the costumes.
My children and I enjoyed this book. I read it aloud for the most part, although they also took turns reading pages here and there. It works very well as a read aloud, although I will tell you that there is enough text here that it could be a multi-night affair, depending on how fast you read, and how much time you set aside for stories in the evening.
The artwork is colorful and cheerful and the bad-guys are scary enough to be fun, without being too scary.
Purimville is a continuation of the adventures of Jacob and Sarah from Latkaland, but you needn't have to read the one to enjoy the other.
