Esther's Gragger: A Toyshop Tale of Purim

Esther's brother bought her a gragger (whirling noisemaker) as a reward for doing good deeds. As they leave the toyshop on their way to the Purim celebration, an older boy tries to take it from her. Like the legendary queen for whom she is named, young Esther displays courage and wit as she takes a stand against him. Back matter includes information about the holiday and directions on how to make a noisemaker.
