Among the offerings this year are a well-intentioned puppy, an apologetic <em>Sesame Street</em> character and two books from the Sammy Spider series.<br /> <br /> <em><strong>Mitzi's Mitzvah</strong></em><br /> Mitzi is a very happy dog who loves to see her friends at Shalom Home. In this story, she visits during Rosh Hashana and helps the elderly residents celebrate the Jewish New Year.<br /> <br /> And she brings her 'doggie New Year wishes, ' which include 'wagging, snuggling, giving kisses' and even licking some empty dishes.<br /> <br /> The illustrations by Holli Conger are wonderfully unique and capture the spirit of this good-natured and loving dog that author Gloria Koster, a school librarian and children's book reviewer, has created.<br /> <br /> <em><strong>I'm Sorry, Grover</strong><br /> I'm Sorry, Grover</em> is the final volume in the Shalom Sesame series, which is a partnership between Kar-Ben and the Sesame Workshop (9-28-12AJW). In this adventure, Grover and Cookie Monster are in Israel to celebrate Rosh Hashana with their friends.<br /> <br /> Among Grover's Israeli friends is a monster named Brosh who has lost his favorite wooly cap - and suspects someone may have taken it. In his search to find it, Brosh learns a valuable lesson about how to say 'I'm sorry' and be a better friend in the new year.<br /> <br /> This book continues the tradition of well-told stories and familiar<em> Sesame Street</em> characters who learn new things and meet new friends in the Jewish state.
