Don't Sneeze at the Wedding


“Press lip, wiggle earlobe, say ‘pineapple’, tap forehead, pinch nose, don’t sneeze!” These are the different pieces of advice that Anna has received during the day and must remember in order to not sneeze during her Aunt Rachel’s wedding. Why? Because she has the very important job of being the flower girl. This is a darling story with colorful and animated illustrations that go through the day before a traditional Jewish wedding. Anna, dressed in her little pink dress, pink shoes with pink flowers in her hair, doesn’t want to ruin the day with a loud sneeze. But guess where she ends up sneezing, only the Rabbi knows. Another fabulous PJ library book that not only goes through the events of a day leading up to a Jewish wedding but has short explanations of the customs and symbols. Don’t Sneeze at the Wedding is a delightful story showing the humor of families and the joy of weddings. I loved this book!
